Eavan Boland 's new book Against Love Poetry is her ninth. Her other books, including An Origin Like Water In A Time of Violence and Object Lessons , have established her as one of the leading poets of our time, Irish or otherwise. Her poems often deal with what one critic has referred to as "women's secret history"; her latest book confronts and refutes the myths and conventions of traditional love poetry, choosing instead to discover "the code marriage makes of passion/duty dailyness routine". The arguments against love poetry result in a powerful book which should interest long time readers as well as those who are new to her work. Born in 1944 in Dublin, Eavan now teaches at Stanford University while also maintaining a home in Ireland. She took time to answer the following questions. Caffeine Destiny: How did your new book take shape for you? Eavan Boland: I read a quote from you where you stated you are a feminist and a poet, but you don't consider yourself a "feminist poet". Can you elaborate on this distinction? I've always been feminist, since I was a very young woman in Ireland, and at a time when women were very hampered by inequities there. And I've always believed that advantages, freedoms gained for women, are not sectional: they are necessary and balancing for a whole society. In that sense, feminism is a compelling ethic. But it's not an aesthetic. I've always been certain of its central value. But the truth is that poetry begins- as all art does - where certainties end. That's the departure point. It's rooted where the imagination is rooted: in ambiguities and darknesses and memories and obsessions that aren't available to ethics, but are capable of truth. So, even though the distinction seems too fine, it has meaning for me. Feminism has helped me see society differently, and define myself as a writer differently. But it stops at the margins of the poem, at the edge of the act of writing it.

Eavan Boland - poet " I always remember I'm an Irish poet there, but at the same time some part of my sense of poetry feels very confined by the American achievement." - Eavan Boland The fifth daughter of artist, Frances Kelly and political diplomat, Frederick Boland, Eavan Boland seemed destinted to impact the culture of Ireland in some way. Born in Dublin in 1944, Eavan Boland had what she deemed to be a nomadic childhood. Her father, Frederick Boland, was Ambassador at the Court of St. James in London and Irish Ambassador to the United Nations in the 1950s. As a result of her father's profession, Eavan spent the majority of her childhood in London and New York City. Boland often refers to this period of her life as her "exhile" from her Irish homeland, an experience that forever altered her sense of idenity and her poetry. The Boland family eventually returned to Ireland, and Eavan went on to study English and Latin at Trinity College in Dublin. In 1962, Eavan was convinced of her calling to be a poet, and solely funded the publication of her first volume of poetry, 23 Poems . Boland became a full time poet in 1967, publishing her second book of poetry

Eavan Boland Biography Eavan Boland was born in Dublin in 1944 and lived in Ireland until she was six years old. At the age of six, she and her family moved to London, where Boland had her first experiences of anti-Irish sentiment. Dealing with this hostility strengthened Boland's identification with her Irish heritage. She speaks of this time in her poem "An Irish Childhood in England: 1951." I came to in nineteen fifty-one: barely-gelled, a freckled six-year-old, overdressed and sick on the plane, when all of England to an Irish child was nothing more than what you'd lost and how: was the teacher in the London convent who, when I pronounced "I amn't" in the classroom turned and said "you're not in Ireland now." ( Outside History She later returned to Dublin to attend school and self-published a pamphlet of poetry (23 Poems) after her graduation. Boland received her BA from Trinity College, Dublin in 1966. Since that time she has held numerous teaching positions and published poetry, books and journal articles. Boland married in 1969 and has two children. Her experiences as a wife and mother have influenced her to write about the beauty and importance of the common, as she describes in a quote taken from Contemporary Authors. I was there with two small children in a house and I could see what was potent and splendid and powerful happening every day in front of me and I wanted to express that.

18. Eavan Boland Two poems. http://www.wfu.edu/wfupress/bolandpoetry.htm

Poetry by Eavan Boland Degas’s Laundresses You rise, you dawn roll-sleeved Aphrodites, out of a camisole brine, a linen pit of stitches, silking the fitted sheets away from you like waves. You seam dreams in the folds of wash from which freshes the whiff and reach of fields where it bleached and stiffened. Your chat’s sabbatical: brides, wedding outfits, a pleasure of leisured women are sweated into the folds, the neat heaps of linen. Now the drag of the clasp. Your wrists basket your waist. You round to the square weight. Wait. There behind you. A man. There behind you. Whatever you do don’t turn. Why is he watching you? Whatever you do don’t turn. Whatever you do don’t turn. See he takes his ease staking his easel so, slowly sharpening charcoal, closing his eyes just so, slowly smiling as if so slowly he is unbandaging his mind. Surely a good laundress would understand its twists, its white turns, its blind design — it’s your winding sheet. The Pomegranate The only legend I have ever loved is The story of a daughter lost in hell.

19. Eavan Boland: A WOMAN PAINTED ON LEAF A poem by eavan boland. http://www.diacenter.org/prg/poetry/96_97/boland.html

A WOMAN PAINTED ON LEAF I found it among curios and silver in the pureness of wintry light. A woman painted on a leaf. Fine lines drawn on a veined surface in a hand-made frame. This is not my face. Neither did I draw it. A leaf falls in the garden. The moon cools its aftermath of sap. The pith of summer dries out in starlight. A woman is inscribed there. This is not death. It is the terrible suspension of life. I want a poem I can grow old in. I want a poem I can die in. I want to take this dried-out face, as you take a starling from behind iron, and return it to its elements of air, of ending- so that Autumn which was once the hard look of stars, the frown on a gardener's face, a gradual bronzing of the distance, will be, from now on, a crisp tinder underfoot. Cheekbones. Eyes. Will be a mouth crying out. Let me. Let me die. In a Time of Violence (W.W. Norton) Back Dia Art Foundation

Author: Boland, Eavan Publication: The title of this poem, which means "I am Ireland," is taken from an older Irish poem, written by P. H. Pearse, in which Ireland speaks as a woman I won't go back to it my nation displaced into old dactyls, oaths made by the animal tallows of the candle land of the Gulf Stream, the small farm, the scalded memory, the songs that bandage up the history, the words that make a rhythm of the crime where time is time past. A palsy of regrets. No. I won't go back. My roots are brutal: I am the woman a sloven's mix of silk at the wrists, a sort of dove-strut in the precincts of the garrison who practises the quick frictions, the rictus of delight and gets cambric for it, rice-coloured silks. I am the woman in the gansy-coat on board the 'Mary Belle', in the huddling cold, holding her half-dead baby to her as the wind shifts east and north over the dirty water of the wharf mingling the immigrant guttural with the vowels of homesickness who neither knows nor cares that a new language is a kind of scar and heals after a while into a passable imitation of what went before.
