| Notes | This poem depicts life in Yugoslavia during the Cold War. The collectivist culture and lack of poverty is contrasted with the failure of such ideals in Ireland. Specific mention is made of Horace Plunkett and AE (George Russell). Mention is also made of Josip Broz Tito and of guerrilla warfare against German occupiers during WW2. |
