Eavan Boland is considered "one of the finest and boldest poets of the last half century" by Poetry Review. This stunning new collection, A Woman Without a Country, looks at how we construct one another and how nationhood and history can weave through, reflect, and define the life of an individual. Themes of mother, daughter, and generation echo throughout these extraordinary poems, as they examine how--even without country or settled identity--a legacy of love can endure.From "Talking to my Daughter Late at Night"We have a tray, a pot of tea, a scone.This is the hourWhen one thing pours itself into another:The gable of our house stored in shadow.A spring planet bending iceInto an absolute of light.Your childhood ended years ago. There isNo path back to it.… (plus d'informations)

time, generations, the country behind and the one of the now, all together in words that evoke feeling & place & history and point of view in stanzas sometimes shorter and much better than this review . ( )

I am, like Eavan Boland, an Irishwoman of the diaspora—away from home in part because of opportunity, in part because of requirement. Those poems in this collection which deal with displacement, of not knowing where is home any more, resonated with me most strongly. Boland's phrasing doesn't always work for me, but when it does, I wish I had someone sitting next to me to whom I could turn and read snatches aloud because of the sheer rightness of them. The poems in her cycle on women and/in history give me the urge to write essays of my own inspired by them—some in celebration but some in critique, because Boland's view of women's history doesn't entirely accord with my own. I don't know if that's because her take on (Irish) women's history has changed over the years, or if mine now are different after several years spent slogging away at a dissertation on medieval women. It's not that I think Boland too pessimistic, too cynical at times—I write recovery history, but I'm not digging to find the lost Golden Age—but because in some poems (say, "Anonymity") I fear that her representation of the past can obscure the very women she's trying to foreground. Women were constricted, but they were not wholly constrained. Still, these are few poets who write with as much deftness and thought as does Boland—highly recommended. ( )
