I've had an epic thesis win over the past couple of days. Remember how I couldn't decide between "contemporary women poets writing against the aisling trope" and "contemporary poets mapping the Irish landscape"? I found a way to combine them. YES. YES, I DID. My thesis is now about how Eavan Boland, specifically--but in concert with several other figures such as Heaney, McGuckian, and Ni Dhomhnaill--rejects the mapping of Ireland onto women and women's bodies and instead maps the nation onto historical events, personal experience, the suburbs, and other non-living entities. YAAAAAY.

My director, by the way, is awesome. I knew that before, but I don't think I'd mentioned it. Anyway, mentioning. Because he is.

Yay! Those are the best moments in scholarship, when you realize you really do have something smart to say, and now you actually know what it is. :)
