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 Eavan Boland was born in Dublin in 1944. She has published many books of poems and her personal memoir, Object Lessons , which reflects on her development as a poet in Ireland. Why I am a Poet I have never found it easy to explain why I am a poet.  I have sometimes thought the reason for this might be that a poet is what I am, rather that just what I do.  Then again, no explanation from my background seems complete.  I came from a bookish house; my mother loved poetry and encouraged me.  Those are two reasons, I suppose.  But they apply just as well to my three sisters and one brother.  But they didn’t become poets, and I did. The single reason, or explanation, which seems accurate comes not from my background or my childhood, but from my observations of how I feel – how I have always felt – when I write a poem.  A poem, that is, which seems true to the experience it came from.  And that, in the end, is the only measure of judgement I have for a good poem.  As Robert Frost once said: ‘No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader’. This explanation is also hard to articulate.  It has to do with the way an experience happens and the way it is felt and remembered.  The fact is, I have never turned to poetry as a method of expression.  To be honest, as a method of expression it has certain flaws.  It is, for instance, a very demanding art form.  There are rules and regulations and customs and conventions to observe in it.  It is not as direct or spontaneous a method of expression as writing a letter for instance.

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.

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.

Norton, $21 (0-393-04663-X). DDC: 821. It is always a joy to see a poet at the peak of her power. Boland, one of Ireland's greatest and among the best writing in English anywhere, pushes herself even beyond the excellence of her last collection, In a Time of Violence (1994). Her formal concision and control here are put to the service of the rawest emotions she has yet shown. It is no accident that she assumes in one poem the persona of Ceres (the Roman version of Demeter), for this is a book about lossnot death but the poignant, anticipatory grief of autumn, when even beauty hurts because of the bleak future that it portends. An autobiographical thread runs through the poems: a woman in midlife watches her daughters and her own youthful self recede from view, and she finds herself in a far, unfamiliar country. Yet Boland is never narrowly personal: the oppressive history of Ireland looms behind the life details, and behind it, the larger oppression of colonization, including the most intimate colonization, that of women by men. Boland is never unambiguous about colonization, for she sees the love of the colonist for the land, and she sees "what I am safe from" as well as "what I have lost." A collection for rereading and savoring.

Suffering Summary The epigram of this poem is a quotation from The Aeneid in which Virgil describes the infants seen by Aeneas at the entrance of hell. The babies had been "torn from their mothers' breasts" and died before their time. This 96-line poem (24 quatrains) begins with the observation that there has never been a poem written in praise of an antibiotic. Poets waste their time on "emblems" rather than the "real thing." At this point Sappho appears and conducts the author down into hell, which is somewhat like "an oppressive suburb of the dawn," and she peers across the river to see hordes of women and children who had died of cholera, typhus, croup, and diphtheria. Sappho tells her that these women should not be defined as cipherscourt ladies or washer womenbut rather as women who once "stood boot deep in flowers once in summer / or saw winter come in with a single magpie / in a caul of haws." The dead were once real people with their own life stories; real women, rather than aging statistics. The author will remember "the silences in which are our beginnings." [96 lines]
