| In The Lost Land, Eavan Boland "is intensely engaged with the ancient bardic lineage of her homeland, giving her poems an ineluctable moral gravity. . . . Her poems offer a curative gift of merciful vision to a country blinded by its own blood and pain, as her narrators wait more or less patiently in their 'difficult knowledge' for the healing of their country's wounds" (San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle).
Eavan Boland is the author of nine books of poetry, including In a Time of Violence and An Origin Like Water, and a book of prose, Object Lessons. Boland lives in Stanford, California, and Dublin, Ireland, and is professor of English at Stanford University where she directs the creative writing program. 1999 / paper / ISBN 0-393-31951-2 / 5 1/2" X 8 1/4" / 72 pages / POETRY | |||||
