Programme

Eavan Boland stands out as a major female poet in the context of twentieth-century Irish writing. Author of more than twenty books of poems and prose writing, she paved the way for many writers in Ireland and abroad after denouncing the subsidiary role of women writers and calling for urgent changes in the Irish literary system. Boland’s innovative and inclusive views on poetry have facilitated the emergence of new women writers and critical approaches. After she passed away in April 2020, contemporary writers and scholars have felt the pressing need to address the impact of her work on twenty-first-century poetic tendencies. As a tribute to Eavan Boland’s life, writing and activism, the Brazilian Journal of Irish Studies celebrates this inspiring poet, critic and professor with a special issue. We invite contributions of up to 6000 words. Academic articles, reviews, interviews, and translations are welcome. The articles can cover any of the following topics:

- Eavan Boland’s dialogue with history
- Boland’s works and the open road for the dialogue between the canon and the margin(s) in the Irish context and abroad
- Critical readings of poetry before and after Eavan Boland’s works: feminist critical readings in Ireland and beyond
- The matter of influence – tradition, activism and contemporaneity
- Impact of Eavan Boland’s writing and activism on other writers
- Eavan Boland’s dialogue with other arts and other media
- Eavan Boland’s prose writings and their reception
- New readings of Eavan Boland
- Writers writing with, about and after Eavan Boland
