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.

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.

INTRODUCTION Boland is viewed as one of the most important poets in contemporary Irish literature. Critics commend her exploration of feminist issues in her work, particularly the role of women in Irish literature and society. In her poetry she has also subverted traditional Irish mythology and concepts of female identity in order to express a more accurate perspective on the contributions and achievements of women in Irish history, politics, and culture. Biographical Information Boland was born on September 24, 1944, in Dublin. Her father, the Irish diplomat Frederick H. Boland, was posted in 1950 as the Irish Ambassador to the Court of St. James in London, and then in 1956 as the President of the United Nations General Assembly. Growing up in London and New York City, Boland felt alienated from her Irish heritage, particularly in London, where she encountered prejudice against the Irish. As a teenager she returned to Ireland and attended the Holy Child Convent in Killiny, County Dublin. She immersed herself in Irish culture and began to write poetry. In 1962 she attended Trinity College in Dublin and published her first collection of verse, 23 Poems.
