Your literary background amaze me Matclone.

I enjoy studying the biographical records of the poet whom I’m reading but admit I haven’t done so yet with Boland, so I know very little (even less than Coleridge). I think your inference of 1847 relating to the potato famine is probably correct based upon her heritage and other work that discusses it ( for example “That the Science of Cartography Is Limited”). I am quite fond of the voice and choice of themes in her work. I felt “Quarantine” was a strikingly beautiful but haunting love poem. That is why I posted it. It is particularly compelling as one considers the struggle of a people senselessly forced into build the famine roads.

How did your hearing her read come about? It must have been a moving experience.

Thank you for contributing to this thread. It is always a pleasure and always informative.
