Description
Eavan Boland's New Collected Poems brings together ten years of her most recent work, including The Lost Land and Code. This updated collection also includes previously unpublished material from her 1971 play Femininity and Freedom, as well as early poems from 23 Poems and other notable works. The result is a chronological record of Boland's development as a poet, tracing a measured process of emancipation from conventions and stereotypes. Her writing offers a space for dialogue, critical engagement, and patient experimentation with form, theme, and language. This collection will be of interest to readers who appreciate modern Irish poetry and are looking for a writer who has made a significant contribution to the genre.
