| Paratext Text | 'Mon pays ce n'est ps un pays c'est l'hiver' - Gilles Vigenault |
| Notes | This poem describes the journey of a member of the Greek diaspora. She has left leaving her ancestors and the city of Mytilini behind her, and the speaker of the poem implies that the woman has settled in an area of Canada, due to the mention of snow, as well as the paratext, which translates as 'my country is not a country, it's winter'. The paratext originates from a song written by Quebecois musician, Gilles Vigneault, who was a Quebec nationalist. |
