| Notes | This poem explores aspects of gender-based violence. The context is not specified. An exemplary prisoner is described - he is a painter of mermaids and a musician, whose good behaviour will result in early release. However, his release spells doom for his wife and child, who cower in fear of his return. There is an implicit critique of the legal system in this poem and in a related poem by Deirdre Brennan titled 'Gríosú'. |
