| Notes | The title 'January 1991' indicates the context of this anti-war poem: the Gulf War. Curbing of love, touch, and affection between the first-person speaker and her partner in order to show opposition to the war and bombing taking place as a result of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. There is an allusion to folklore beliefs about the wren in this poem. The poem has been translated in prose form. |
