"The River"
You brought me
to the mouth of a river
in mid-October
when the swamp maples
were saw-toothed and blemished
I remember
how strange it felt

To have been stronger than
a moment. To be the hostages ignorance
takes from time and ornament from destiny. Both.
To be the present of the past. To infer the difference
with a terrible stare. But not feel it. And not know it.

Absolutely thrilled and incredibly honoured that @tcddublin have decided to name their main library after our mother Eavan Boland. It is a wonderful recognition of her accomplishments as an Irish poet but also will hopefully inspire countless future generations of trailblazers and activists as she also was. Beyond thankful to everyone who made this happen. @LindaDoyle
The Eavan Boland Library will be the 1st building on campus named after a woman. Provost Dr @LindaDoyle said: “It is a fitting recognition of Eavan Boland’s poetic genius that our main Library, used by so many students and staff, will now carry her name."

"The clear air we need to find each other in is gone forever, yet / this resin / collected seeds, leaves, and even small feathers as it fell / and fell"

No magic here. Yet you encroach until
The shy countryside, fooled
By your plainness falls, then rises
From your bed changed, schooled
Forever by your skill,
Your compromises.

"Cyclist with Cut Branches"
Country hands on the handlebars
A bicycle bisecting cars
Lethal and casual
In rush hour traffic, I remember
Seeing, as I watched that September

4 years 💔 There are no words adequate to describe how much I miss you. What a long, relentless journey grief is. And yet I feel your love and encouragement every day guiding me. Sharing your beautiful poem Amber which resonates so much today.

Eavan Boland’s Object Lessons (1995) is one of the greatest memoirs of the 20th C imo
Today, Eavan Boland's 80th, let us read her timeless poetry.
Let's also celebrate her literary feminism work which transformed Irish writing, introducing diversity for the 1st time.
We will honour Boland by keeping her work & legacy alive.
