    Eavan Boland: White Hawthorn In The West Of Ireland

    In this poem we see Boland beginning somewhere that is familiar in her body of work, the suburbs. However, rather than focusing on this location, instead the first stanza shows her leaving the outskirts of the city and heading to the west of Ireland. This episode begins with a simple explanation of what the poem is about, then we'll dive into it's theme, imagery and style. All of this should help you in preparing for an exam or even a homework question on White Hawthorn In The West Of Ireland. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Eavan Boland: Child of Our Time

    The Dublin/Monaghan bombings took place on the 17th May 1974. In one of the most violent moments of The Troubles, 33 people were killed in four car bombs that exploded in quick succession between the two counties. Boland was inspired to write this poem after a photograph she saw in a newspaper in the aftermath of the bombings. The photograph depicted a child killed in the explosion in the held in the arms of a fireman. In May 1974 the poem was then published in The Irish Times. As a poet, it makes sense that Boland chooses to discuss the failure of language and how this is what led to the violence. The lack of communication and failure to deal with political issues, she believes, has led people this point. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
