| Notes | The first-person speaker is visiting Cuba, and includes references to Che Guevara and Cuban history, including the Bay of Pigs Invasion. There is an explicit reference to poverty in the poem. Poets Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Bulat Okudzhava are mentioned in passing. There is also a human rights connection through the reference to Muldoon's earlier poem titled "Cuba", and its addressing of the Cold War context. |
