| Notes | The stifling and minoritization of Jewish identity is strongly implied by the speaker of this poem, who describes meeting a Jewish person who changes his name frequently - likely to give the impression of 'fitting in' to an Anglophone society as a result of a displacement event. This could refer to the post-Holocaust Jewish experience in Western countries, although it is not specified. The Jewish man in question here changes his name so often that he has completely forgotten who is even is. This poem has been translated into a prose poem, with a different layout than the Irish-language version. |
