A Journey with Two Maps by Eavan Boland
These inspiring essays from the celebrated poet Eavan Boland are both critical and deeply personal, revealing the adventure, passion, and struggle of becoming a woman poet. In this thematic sequel to her classic Object Lessons, Boland traces her own experiences as a woman, wife, and mother and their effect on her poetry, and she looks to a world where she can change the poetic past as well as the present.
"Starred ReviewBoland offers encouragement to women poets of the future. If some of her language is directed to those writing or reading poetry, her vivid imagery (‘if this were a summer darkness in Ireland the morning would already be stored in the midnight’) will beguile many." -- Publishers Weekly
