Paratext Text - c. 1990
Notes This poem seems to be a short note about the Gulf War without mentioning it by name. There is also a mention of Irish people's feelings towards America - probably to do with emigration. America is notably described here as 'hunting the world' - likely a reference to its military supremacy on the world stage. The date mentioned in the paratext connects the poem to the beginning of the Gulf War.
