Book Synopsis
A powerful work that examines how—even without country or settled identity—a legacy of love can endure.

Trade Review
"Eavan Boland is a major Irish poet, a great seeker, and her new book is a determined mission to bring the past out of the shadows, to lift up images, record words, in a lyric battle against omissions and erasures, recorded history, the ruthlessness of time. She is a necessary singer." -- Edward Hirsch
"Eavan Boland’s poems have an edgy precision, an uncanny sympathy and warmth, an unsettling sense of history. Her heart-stopping memories—bitter or poignant or loving—become our own. This is her best book—an astonishment, a treasure." -- J. D. McClatchy
"A powerful work that examines how—even without country or settled identity—a legacy of love can endure." -- Publishers Weekly
