| Paratext Text | The sculptor reacted with horror to the prospect of immigrants landing near his masterpiece; he called it 'a monstrous plan'. So much for Emma Lazarus... -- Mary Gordon, Good Boys and Dead Girls |
| Notes | Adopts the voice of an Irish emigrant writing home to her mother from the US. Epigraph, however, portrays a migrant experience in an international - or at least not specifically Irish - context. First published in The Hudson Letter (1995). |
