| Notes | The context is primarily that of the Troubles, but there are also references to the fear of a Russian invasion in a post-World War 2 Cold War context. The poem includes an ekphrastic reference to Dermot Seymour's painting 'The Russians will water their horses on the Shores of Lough Neagh'. First published in Quoof (1983). |
