Quarantine (Poem)

Article previously was almost entirely copyvio and nominated for speedy deletion by User:Þjarkur under WP:G12, though the violating material was then removed by the page creator; little is left. There doesn't seem to be any coverage of the poem in third-party reliable sources. YorkshireLad ✿  (talk) 09:49, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Guardian: "And Eavan Boland’s Great Famine poem “Quarantine” makes me cry."  New York Times cooking section: "And, finally, do read Eavan Boland’s fine dark poem Quarantine"  Irish school children are made to make presentations on it . "One of my favorite contemporary political poems"  Analyzed in literary journals . – Thjarkur (talk) 10:51, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
