Ten years ago Carcanet published Eavan Boland's first Collected
Poems, a book which confirmed her place at the forefront of modern
Irish poetry. The New Collected Poems brings the record of her
achievement up to date, adding The Lost Land (1998) and Code
(2001). It also fills out the early record, reproducing two key
poems from 23 Poems (1962), New Territory (1967), The War Horse
(1975) and her later books; it includes passages from her
unpublished 1971 play Femininity and Freedom. Following the
chronology of publication, the reader experiences the exhilarating
sense of development, now incremental, now momentous. Her writing
and example are vitally enabling for young writers and readers; she
traces a measured process of emancipation from conventions and
stereotypes, writing now in a space she has cleared not by violent
rejection, but by dialogue, critical engagement and patient
experimentation with form, theme and language
