Synopsis

Woman without a Country

About this title

Review:

Eavan Boland s poems have an edgy precision, an uncanny sympathy and warmth, an unsettling sense of history. Her heart-stopping memories bitter or poignant or loving become our own. This is her best book an astonishment, a treasure. --J. D. McClatchy
