520 3 |a Eavan Boland's mother-daughter poems are principally found in Night Feed (1982), In a Time of Violence (1994) and The Lost Land (1998). This article examines the poems' relationship to two underlying myths: the Biblical story of Eden and the fall, employed in the "Domestic Interior” sequence of Night Feed, as well as the classical myth of Demeter and Persephone, which Boland adapts in her other mother-daughter poems, probably following a suggestion by Adrienne Rich. Up to In a Time of Violence Boland interprets the myth of Demeter in a predominantly positive way. With The Lost Land, however, she adds a critical note. Here the fate of the daughter is linked to that of the country, and Demeter as a goddess of the corn is aligned with Irish personifications of the land. In these poems, Boland is thus not only concerned with the mother-daughter relationship, but also approaches anew the problematic concept of Ireland-as-woman.
