Synopsis
From "Talking to my Daughter Late at Night"
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.

Review
Eavan Boland is a major Irish poet, a great seeker, and her new book is a determined mission to bring the past out of the shadows, to lift up images, record words, in a lyric battle against omissions and erasures, recorded history, the ruthlessness of time. She is a necessary singer.--Edward Hirsch
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
About the Author
Eavan Boland is the author of more than a dozen volumes of poetry and nonfiction. A professor and the director of the creative writing program at Stanford University, she is the winner of a Lannan Foundation Award. She lives in Stanford, California, and Dublin, Ireland.
