| Notes | The act of witnessing images of refugees on television appears to have a deep affect on the speaker of this poem. She imagines that the stream of refugees walk out of the screen and into her living room, emphasising her privilege and comfort. Reference also made in this poem to the history of outward emigration from Ireland. |
