New Selected Poems includes the key poems of Eavan Bolands career to date, from New Territory (1967) to Domestic Violence (2007), concluding with a selection of new poems. Developing her work through more than a dozen collections, Boland continues to find new dimensions in language, in history and in the body subject to passion and to time. Her critical writing, her poetry and her example have made an emancipating difference to writing in Ireland. As she remarked in an interview in 2000, women are now writing the Irish poem across a very big register of new tones, new subjects, new approaches...I think I was one of the poets who became convinced of the need for change.

Industry Reviews

'She has the equipment of the true poet, that is to say an imagemaking faculty, a true devoted eye and an ear for rhythm.' --Iain Crichton Smith 'Boland is one of the finest and boldest poets of the last half-century.' --Elaine Feinstein 'Some of [Boland's] poems have become part of the common currency of our country and time. They begin as words and end as emblems.' --Irish Times 'Over all her collections, her developing forms and subjects - the fabric of domestic life, myth, love, history and Irish rural landscape - have kept their commitment to lyrical grace and feminism.' --Ruth Padel
