21. Eavan Boland
Interview with eavan boland about her 2001 book.
http://www.caffeinedestiny.com/boland.html
Eavan Boland 's new book Against Love Poetry is her ninth. Her other books, including An Origin Like Water In A Time of Violence and Object Lessons , have established her as one of the leading poets of our time, Irish or otherwise.
Her poems often deal with what one critic has referred to as "women's secret history"; her latest book confronts and refutes the myths and conventions of traditional love poetry, choosing instead to discover "the code marriage makes of passion/duty dailyness routine". The arguments against love poetry result in a powerful book which should interest long time readers as well as those who are new to her work.
Born in 1944 in Dublin, Eavan now teaches at Stanford University while also maintaining a home in Ireland. She took time to answer the following questions.
Caffeine Destiny: How did your new book take shape for you?
Eavan Boland:
I read a quote from you where you stated you are a feminist and a poet, but you don't consider yourself a "feminist poet". Can you elaborate on this distinction?

I've always been feminist, since I was a very young woman in Ireland, and at a time when women were very hampered by inequities there. And I've always believed that advantages, freedoms gained for women, are not sectional: they are necessary and balancing for a whole society. In that sense, feminism is a compelling ethic. But it's not an aesthetic. I've always been certain of its central value. But the truth is that poetry begins- as all art does - where certainties end. That's the departure point. It's rooted where the imagination is rooted: in ambiguities and darknesses and memories and obsessions that aren't available to ethics, but are capable of truth. So, even though the distinction seems too fine, it has meaning for me. Feminism has helped me see society differently, and define myself as a writer differently. But it stops at the margins of the poem, at the edge of the act of writing it.

Eavan Boland Biography
Eavan Boland was born in Dublin in 1944. At the age of six, she and her family moved to London, where Boland had her first experiences of anti-Irish sentiment. Her dealing with this hostility strengthened Boland's identification with her Irish heritage. She spoke of this time in her poem "An Irish Childhood in England: 1951." She later returned to Dublin to attend school and published a pamphlet of poetry (23 Poems) after her graduation. Boland received her BA (Bachelor of Arts Degree) from Trinity College, Dublin in 1966. Since then 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.

Meet the Writer - Poet Eavan Boland
MEET THE WRITER
Poet Eavan Boland writes about her poem, ‘This Moment’. ‘This Moment’ is about a time in my life when my children were very young. We lived in a suburb which faced the Dublin hills and where the summer light lasted a long time into the evening. When I went out to call in my daughter she would run into my arms, just as the light was going. This poem remembers that time, but in an impressionistic way. I wanted to convey the stillness, the waiting, the about-to-happen feeling of summer light going. Most of those details in the poem are taken from my life at that time: the moths of late summer always caught my eye as they banged against our kitchen window, and the first house lights through the summer twilight were always an evocative sight to me. But it’s the mother and child who are the focus of the poem. It’s as if the child’s reunion with the mother makes the summer twilight shift and stumble into real night. The stars, the moths, the sweetening of the apples all happen as a result of the encounter. And that’s my real subject. This is a poem which puts human nature and actual nature beside each other. It also puts nature under the control of human nature, which of course it’s not in the real world. But by suggesting it is in this poem I was able to convey something of the power and beauty of the meeting between the child and the mother. And that’s what I wanted to do.

Stanford Report, October 25, 2000 'Celebration' This poem, "Celebration," is from Denise Levertov's last and posthumous volume, This Great Unknowing: Last Poems (New Directions, 1999). Levertov, who died in 1997, taught at Stanford from 1982 to 1993. English Professor Eavan Boland read the poem at the inauguration of John L. Hennessy on Friday, Oct. 20, 2000. President Hennessy, this poem was written by Denise Levertov, who was professor of English at Stanford and a member of the Creative Writing Program from 1982 to 1993 and a peerless poet. The poem is called "Celebration." And because it marks out a single day for praise and rejoicing, I thought it was appropriate as part of our congratulations to you on this special day for you and for Stanford. Celebration Brilliant, this day a young virtuoso of a day. Morning shadow cut by sharpest scissors, deft hands. And every prodigy of green whether it's ferns or lichens or needles or impatient points of buds on spindly bushes greener than ever before.

The DIA Arts Foundation, way west on 22nd Street in New York's new Chelsea arts hub, hosted Eavan Boland and Adrienne Rich, Friday evening, May 9 at 7:30 pm. The readings are held in a large pure white gallery space. Many tech guys with walkie-talkies, elegant keepsake programs with poem broadsides tipped in (designed by Sherrie Levine), and brilliant intros by Series Coordinator Brighde Mullins. The space seats 250 all sold ($5) by 7:15. Eavan Boland is the model for poet in the next millennium. The first Irish woman poet to surface, she flips the classic/romantic mode that has been poetry's underlying conceit woman as object/subject to woman as Maker. Her poems rip the words from the text of history to reveal the face of the faceless seethe of human beings on whose bodies power has built roads to nowhere. The shaman resides in the body of a woman, a mother, a wife, a teacher only insofar as to redefine the role of the spiritual for a new culture: eyes open to the trickery of the tongue which lashes away in the language of the oppressor. In her strong beauty we hear of:

Eavan Boland
We're just back from a weekend 'Exodus' out of school, during which Head of Department John Fanagan went to the the annual Poetry School weekend in London, and writes :-
'I attended a wonderful seminar run by Eavan Boland whose poetry I was teaching to my sixth form a couple of weeks ago. She spoke of the creation and use of image in poetry and contended strongly that, like the appendix in the human body, the simile is now redundant. Using poems by Wallace Stevens, Sylvia Plath, Adrienne Rich and her own 'Black Lace Fan', she examined the power of metaphor as an organic part of the poem. We were encouraged to give our views: I argued with her about the compass simile in Donne's 'A Valediction : forbidding mourning', which I love and she doesn't.
At a reception afterwards I spoke to her for a while and found her very engaging. She is a wonderful teacher and the seminar was exciting and stimulating. The Poetry School is at

Eavan Boland: Letter to a young woman poet
American Poetry Review, The May/Jun 1997 by Boland, Eavan wish I knew you. I wish I could stand for a moment in that corridor of craft and doubt where you will spend so much of your time. But I don't and I can't. And given the fact, in poetic terms, that you are the future and I am the past, I never will. Then why write this? It is not, after all, a real letter. It doesn't have an address. I can't put a name at the top of it. So what reason can I have for writing in a form without a basis to a person without a name?
