Resumo

Na poesia de Eavan Boland e do poeta irlandês de segunda geração Rhian Gallagher, corpos de água são convocados para realizar o ritual ou vocação para a incorporação na lírica. Neste artigo, defendo que uma educação católica influencia a forma como um poeta trata o assunto na poesia lírica, particularmente os corpos das mulheres. Boland viaja em direção ao corpo de sua mãe moribunda em “And Soul”, permeando cada gota de água que ela encontra com a possibilidade de reanimar sua mãe. Em “Gaze”, Gallagher procura por “algo” faltando na vista do lado de fora de sua janela, algo que ela encontra no olhar e no corpo de sua amante lésbica. Ambos os poemas se passam em espaços liminares, permitindo o ritual de corporificação lírica com sujeitos que buscam a imortalidade por meio de corpos de água
