Eavan Boland wrote poetry about Irish history, suburbia, motherhood and the place of women within national literary traditions. In collections such as In Her Own Image, Outside History and Domestic Violence, kitchens, streets and family routines become ways of questioning heroic versions of Irish history that leave ordinary female lives outside the record. Her poems are clear but formally careful, often moving from a concrete domestic scene into historical reflection. Boland's work suits readers of Irish poetry, feminist literary history, domestic lyric and writing about memory and national identity. Read more Less
