| Notes | The poem is said to be informed by Durcan's family history as well as his own travels in Estonia and Russia. However a traumatic midnight departure on a train from Tallinn cannot but evoke associations with Stalin's transportations, though this connection isn't made explicitly anywhere. From Going Home to Russia (1987) |
