| Notes | The title of this poem indicates that the speaker is in Ottawa in 1991, during the Gulf War. The speaker appears to be the wife of a diplomat. There is an explicit reference to Saddam Hussein in the final verse and a further reference to the guillotine implies the threat of state violence. This may be a poem about the defection of a former Iraqi diplomat. |
