Presents an exploration of what it means to be a writer and a woman in contemporary society.

New and selected poems by Ireland's most acclaimed contemporary female poet.

A new and updated version of the 'Collected Poems of Eavan Boland', Ireland's pioneering premier female poet.

Published to celebrate the 70th birthday of acclaimed Irish poet Eavan Boland, this book brings together many of Boland s best-known poems with her own striking photographs of her native city, Dublin. Through juxtaposition of text and image, place and memory, the book creates a unique portrait of the city. This book also includes an introduction by Jody Allen Randolph and a conversation between Eavan Boland and Paula Meehan in which the two poets reflect on their shared city and the central role it has played in their lives and in their work."

The poems in Eavan Boland's new collection seek out the delicate intersections between generation, identity, and the deep losses inflicted by history on those who can bear them least. Exploring questions of inheritance (from mother to daughter, from generation to generation), the poems look closely at the ways in which we construct one another, and the ways in which - even without country, or settled identity - a legacy of connection and consolation can endure.

A new collection from Eavan Boland, a pioneering figure in Irish poetry who has been credited with inspiring a generation. This will be her final collection, following her passing in April 2020.
