Eavan Boland 
Domestic Violence [EPUB ebook] 

Eavan Boland’s new collection turns to the domestic interiors in which the dramas of women’s lives are played out: seductions and quarrels, anger and grief, the care of children. In her attentiveness to the humdrum realities of suburban life, Boland makes them luminous with the power of live myths. Looking back over her own life, back through the lives of the women who preceded her, Boland arrives at the deep structures of memory where, as she writes, legends are made new ’not by saying them, but by unsettling / one layer of meaning from another’. This is a collection from a poet at the height of her powers, writing with authority and grace.
