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"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aContemporary Irish writers (Lewisburg, Pa.) 606 $aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$vBiography 606 $aEnglish literature$xIrish authors$vBiography 615 0$aEnglish literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xIrish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xWomen authors 615 0$aEnglish literature$xIrish authors 676 $a821/.914 700 $aRandolph$b Jody Allen$01711476 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824916503321 996 $aEavan Boland$94102789 997 $aUNINA
