| Notes | The poem is based on the Irish 'triad' form of poetry, and describes the effects of the Chernobyl explosion in Ukraine, 1986, which disproportionally affected the people of Belarus. The effects of the disaster are portrayed in three vignettes: a grandmother becomes a destitute refugee, a mother buries a child who has died from pneumonia, a child's eyes betrays its lack of hope. The title of the poem is an allusion to the three great tragedies of the Irish mythological cycle (Trí Thrua na Scéalaíochta): Oidhe Chlainne Uisnigh, Oidhe Chlainne Lir, and Oidhe Chloinne Tuireann. This original publication has slightly different spelling in title: see alternative title above. Two editorial notes as well: * Nain/seanmháthair and ** eilimint radaighníomhach |
