A Woman Without a Country: Poems

A powerful work that examines howâ€•even without country or settled identityâ€•a legacy of love can endure.
Eavan Boland is considered â€œone of the finest and boldest poets of the last half centuryâ€ by Poetry Review. This stunning new collection, A Woman Without a Country, looks at how we construct one another and how nationhood and history can weave through, reflect, and define the life of an individual. Themes of mother, daughter, and generation echo throughout these extraordinary poems, as they examine howâ€•even without country or settled identityâ€•a legacy of love can endure.
From â€œTalking to my Daughter Late at Nightâ€

We have a tray, a pot of tea, a scone.
This is the hour
When one thing pours itself into another:
The gable of our house stored in shadow.
A spring planet bending ice
Into an absolute of light.
Your childhood ended years ago. There is
No path back to it.
