I have read her, but not at school or university, just in passing. But it's probably worth noting that I'm British!
Hee. Yeah, she's definitely not someone I would've expected the average non-American to know. But I had figured she was more well-known and well-criticized over here than she apparently is.
(Read Boland at school, though, as part of a themed collection on culture and loss.)
Hooray! She's still not very well-known over here, sadly, but then again I've run into people who've never even heard of Yeats, so I can't say as I'm surprised.
