| Paratext Text | for John Ashbery |
| Notes | This poem considers questions of poetry and poetic efficacy, or responsibility, in times of crisis or violence. There is explicit reference to Johnathon Swift and to debates about slavery. There is clear reference to violence against women in a contemporary context, although no specific location or cultural context is given. Reference to Troy is an allusion to conflict and war. |
