| Notes | The first-person speaker of this poem describes the torrential rain in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Describing the scenery and architecture of the city, the speaker reflects upon the 1991 Siege of Dubrovnik, which occurred during the Croatian War of Independence. This battle left many civilians dead: there is a reference to dead children in the poem and to poet Milan Milišić, who was killed by a Yugoslav shell early on in the battle. |
