| Notes | The poem's explicit focus is on colonization and the genocide of Native American peoples, especially the California genocide in the 19th century. Ishi, referred to in the title, was the last known member of the Yahi people. The poem can also be understood as an implicit commentary on the violence of Bloody Sunday, Derry, 1972. First published in New Weather (1973). |
