The Royal Irish Academy's expressed its sympathy with her family, saying "she was a pleasure to work with".

She published ten volumes of poetry, releasing her first collection, 23 poems, in 1962 -- before she was 20 years old.

Jane told Declan Meehan about the first time she met Eavan Boland at The Brockagh Centre in Laragh.
