Collins explores how memory shapes creativity in the work of well-known poets such as Eavan Boland, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin and Medbh McGuckian as well as in that of an exciting group of younger poets. This book analyses, for the first time, the complex responses to the past recorded by contemporary women poets in Ireland and the implications these have for the concept of a national tradition UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/26018/1/1004067.pdfhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/26018 ER -
