I agree with this statement about Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin’s poetry .
Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin’s poetry has signs of loss, relationships shown in her writings.
The poet has a large understanding of a variety of subjects ranging from art to mythology.
Her poems summaries the important aspects of the human way of life.

The poem “Firemans lift” is a poem based around the mystery of life and death after her mother passed away.
The poet has said the aspect that affected her most about the fresco was the bodily effort and bodily weight that brings the Virgin figure to an unknown place.
Ní Chuilleanáin visit the Cathedral in Parma where they see a fresco displayed on the walls of the dome.
The fresco shows the Virgin's ascent into heaven, and Ní Chuilleanáin refers to this as the similar idea of her mothers soul, or her existance being lifted up to Heaven after death.
Based on this perspective, Ní Chuilleanáin has a belief in an afterlife, which shows us she has a belief in a religion of some sort.

The Bend in the Road is a poem about memory and nostalgia for the past.
This tone of this poem is happyness, and Ní Chuilleanáin views this memory as something positive, and does not let the death of the individual in this poem ruin this.
It is a celebration rather than a commemoration.
It recounts a tale of a child getting sick on a journey with the whole family and how the location, that ‘bend in the road’, becomes synonymous with that event.
Ní Chuilleanáin realizes that our surroundings are filled with the memories of our loved ones even if they have passed away.
Ní Chuilleanáin similes in many of her images. She describes the tree as "like a cat’s tail" and the spirits of the dead being "like one cumulus cloud" a perfect sky.
There is a serene and peaceful atmosphere in this poem.  This ‘bend in the road’ is described as ‘silent’ and seems a place where little happens.
Ní Chuilleanáin reflects on all that has happened in the past 12 years and on the people they have lost: ‘the faces never long absent from thought’.
These people were taken away by disease: ‘we saw them wrapped and sealed by sickness’.
They were so weak that even sleep seemed a burden to them: ‘the piled weight of sleep / We knew they could not carry too long’.
To the poet this bend in the road is a place of memory for all these people and all her memories, not just the one in which her child got sick:
‘This is the place of their presence: in the tree, in the air.’
From this poem we now understand the poet views this as a sense of love and consolation, but also sense of mystery.

The poem To Niall Woods is based around the marriage of her son’s marriage to Xenya Ostrovskaia.
The stories which are told throughout the poem involve
characters journeying far from home in search of love and
happiness. Just as they have to leave their homes, so her son has to leave her and seek true love.
Each of the journeys ends with the hero and heroine living ‘happily ever after’,
and the poet wishes the same for her son and his new bride. She also tells them that even
though they may be leaving behind the places they know best, they will ‘find once more’ all that they left.
Perhaps this is her way of saying that in time they will come back to these old stories when they have their own children and therefore the journey will become an infinite circle of love.

From my understanding of this poem, I can conclude that Ní Chuilleanáin’s demanding subject matter and formidable style can prove challenging.
“Ní Chuilleanáin writes about a variety of subjects and topics in her poems, each with it's own individual background, hidden meaning and an analogy that Ní Chuilleanáin refers to.
