Bonus: Eavan Boland Postscript

Season 1, Episode 16,   Jul 06, 2020, 07:59 AM

In the postscript to the Podcast Series, Paulyn pays respect to the Poet Eavan Boland who died suddenly in April 2020. In Chapter six of the Book where Mumu discusses the Corn Laws and the Great Famine in Ireland, she had referred to one of Eavan Boland’s poems – ‘Quarantine’ – never imagining  that, in 2020,  we would be experiencing quarantines in face of the Covid – 19 pandemic. It seems appropriate to refer to Ms Boland’s significant contribution as a woman Poet and to read her poem ‘Night Feed’.
