| Notes | This poem contains an explicit reference the Bosnian Genocide, with the mention of the town, Potočari, where the Srebrenica massacre began, during which thousands of Bosniak Muslims were killed. This poem refers to the 'screening' process - likely in reference to the selection of the victims to be killed by Serb forces. The reference to Calder is intriguing: could it refer to Alexander Calder's deadly mercury fountain in Barcelona? This was created when the Spanish Republican government commissioned the artist Alexander Calder to create a monument denouncing the siege of Almadén to be presented at the 1937 World Exhibition in Paris. |
