A forceful and moving final volume from one of the most masterful poets of the twentieth century. Throughout her nearly sixty-year career, acclaimed poet Eavan Boland came to be known for her exquisite ability to weave myth, history, and the life of an ordinary woman into mesmerizing poetry. This, her final volume, is the culmination of her signature themes, exploring the ways in which the hidden, sometimes all but erased womens lives can powerfully revise our sense of the past. These extraordinary, intimate narratives cling to the future through memory, anger, and love in ways that rebuke the official record we call history.
