""This is a book of being and becoming. It is about being a poet. It is also about the long process of becoming one," writes Eavan Boland. These inspiring essays are both critical and deeply personal, allowing the adventure, passion, and struggle of becoming a woman poet to be viewed from different perspectives. Boland traces her own experiences as a woman, wife, and mother and their effects on her poetry. In the opening essay, she explores the story of her mother, a painter, and her influence on Boland's own concepts of art and womanhood. She examines the work of women poets such as Adrienne Rich, Elizabeth Bishop, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Sylvia Plath, whose poetry provided light and guidance for her own work. And finally, in "Letter to a Young Woman Poet," she addresses an unseen young poet of the future, and looks to a world where this future artist can change the poetic past as well as the present."--Publisher's website.

Eavan Boland is a poet and someone sensitive to writing of poetry. In this book she discusses her own personal history within the context of the history of poetry. For her poetry involves recognizing contradictions and holding them balance, rejecting neither side. She rejects the idea of chosing between I and we, the personal and the communal, the political and the domestic. As an Irish woman who began writing in the middle of the twentieth century, she is particularly sensitive to the internal restraints that acted against her writing poetry as a woman.
