The Lost Land Poems

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 professor of English and director of the Creative Writing Program at Stanford University.
