| Notes | This poem describes the act of hair being shorn off by the speaker of the poem. While not specific, the poem's place in an anthology about World War II means that this poem could possibly refer to a number of wartime incidents: the shaving of prisoners' hair as they entered concentration camps; the shaving of womens' hair as punishment for collusion with German soldiers; the shaving of young soldiers' hair as they go off to war. |
