Abstract
AbstractThe essay focuses on the figure of the house in Leontia Flynn’s Profit and Loss (2011) in order to show that it evokes an arena where the poet confronts her anxieties over the precariousness of her life and over her vocation. Having briefly framed the discussion of the house in contemporary Irish poetry, the essay goes on to argue that in Flynn’s rendition, it is transformed from initially being a site of baleful haunting into a stable ground of poetic space, in which the speaker can come to terms with her griefs and fears.
