Eavan Boland's achievement in changing the map of Irish poetry is tracked and analyzed from her first poems to the present. The book traces the evolution of that achievement, guiding the reader through Boland's early attachment to Yeats, her growing unease with the absence of women's writing, her encounter with pioneering American poets like Sylvia Plath, Elizabeth Bishop, and Adrienne Rich, and her eventual, challenging amendments in poetry and prose to Ireland's poetic tradition. Using research from private papers the book also traces a time of upheaval and change in Ireland, exploring Boland's connection to Mary Robinson, in a chapter that details the nexus of a woman president and a woman poet in a country that was resistant to both. Finally, this book invites the reader to share a compelling perspective on the growth of a poet described by one critic as Ireland's "first great woman poet"-- Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Boland, Eavan $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 600 10 $a Boland, Eavan. 650 0 $a English literature $x Women authors $v Biography. 650 0 $a English literature $x Irish authors $v Biography. 600 17 $a Boland, Eavan, $d 1944- $2 gnd 830 0 $a Contemporary Irish writers (Lewisburg, Pa.) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019024322.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826085644.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=615F6196066511E4B09646AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
