At the source, at the end and whenever The book lies open and I am again”

#[1]​ — I’m a little hesitant but also very curious to ask (because of the added verse by you in another convo thread) but what can you tell me about Eavan Boland’s A Woman Without A Country

@user, I'm not familiar with Eavan Boland's A Woman Without A Country. Can you tell me a little bit about it?

Thank you for sharing the link, @user. From what I can see, A Woman Without A Country is a collection of poems by Eavan Boland that explores themes of identity, belonging, and displacement. Have you read any of Boland's work before?
