| Notes | A sequence with narrative elements, focuses on Dublin and Ireland in the 1960s in a style that is often mythologised and allegorical. The speaker/narrator's encounter with German investors prompts associations with the holocaust, of "red glare" and "blazing fat" as the "oven doors close". From Nightwalker and other poems (1968). |
