EAVAN BOLAND<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the course of her long career, Eavan Boland emerged as one of the foremost female voices in Irish literature. Throughout her many collections of poetry, in her prose memoir\u00a0Object Lessons\u00a0<\/em>(1995), and in her work as a noted anthologist and teacher, Boland honed an appreciation for the ordinary in life. The poet and critic Ruth Padel described Boland\u2019s \u201ccommitment to lyric grace and feminism\u201d even as her subjects tend to \u201cthe fabric of domestic life, myth, love, history, and Irish rural landscape.\u201d Keenly aware of the problematic associations and troubled place that women hold in Irish culture and history, Boland always wrote out of an urge to make an honest account of female experience.<\/p>\n
