Summary
The author recounts her life growing up in Ireland, describes the attitudes toward women and poets, and discusses her career as a writer
Amazon.com description: Product Description:

In this important prose work, one of our major poets explores, through autobiography and argument, a woman's life in Ireland together with a poet's work.

Eavan Boland beautifully uncovers the powerful drama of how these lives affect one another; how the tradition of womanhood and the historic vocation of the poet act as revealing illuminations of the other.
