Notes This collection of poetry is set mainly in Slovenia. This particular poem refers to a bible that spills blood from its folds, reminding the speaker of the poem of the names and plaques on every alley on every town, harking back to a time when heroes stood their ground, dying in the face of tyranny. The poem doesn't specify which conflict is in question, but it could refer to either of the World Wars, revolutions against Communist rule, or the break-up of Yugoslavia.
