| Notes | This poem is contained within the 'An Trodaí' section of the collection Máthair an Fhiaigh: The Raven's Mother. In this poem, the warrior goes underwater to her own realm, without her family and lover, and swims up towards Greece. Poetry Project video reconstructs the meaning of this mythological poem in a new way. The Poetry Project video, the other publication of this poem, reconstructs the meaning of this mythological poem in a new way, and in that light, it can be read as an allegory for refugees leaving the African continent and reaching Greece. There is a hint of the mythological character of the mermaid in this poem. |
