Hardcover. NY, Norton, 1st, 1000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. Poems that deal with experiences of Irish women in love, marriage, motherhood, and modern society. 'Eavan is a marvelous poet, and Outside History is the best possible introduction to her work. Love and anxiety, memories and mysteries-she's woven them all into a rich verse fabric, thrown like a flowered shawl over her shoulders as she stands out under the chilling night sky, no other soul around but (for that haunting moment) the reader's own.' -J. D. McClatchy. Clean copy.
