| Résumé : | Paula Meehan's Painting Rain conveys the socio-cultural impacts of the Celtic Tiger's collapse through an eco-feminist framework. Within this framework, environmental, gender, and class inequities are intimately intertwined. The poetry conveys a pre-modern non-rationalism that disrupts the alignment of land, women, and the working class as objectified terms of binaries. Whereas patriarchal capitalism is premised on transcending nature through knowledge that licenses its exploitation, Meehan's ecological tropes present nature as an irreducible Other to be appreciated through an embodied experience rather than being rationally known and commodified. Her descriptions of embodied experiences are premised upon the same land as body equation prevalent in news media descriptions of economic catastrophe, but her poetry presents tropes that counter the reductive economic clichés of journalism. While Meehan engaged in political protest at the Occupy Dame Street movement, she presented a collection of poetry that also resists any perceived divide between art and activism |
