Ep 15: Downfall of the Patriarchy
Episode fifteen explores a torchbearer Eavan Boland and her impact on the Irish female literature community. Boland single-handedly created the downfall to the Patriarchy that seeked to rule and define Irish poetry. We explore Boland's poem "And Soul", a touching tribute to her mother that discusses the link between nature and mortality. So sit back, relax and I'll see you on the next one.
