| Notes | The poem's narrative, set in Cuba, focuses on a woman and her husband at what appears to be a time of revolution or period of extreme military control, as soldiers are setting up barricades and television broadcasts political "coded" messages. From The Man Who Was Marked by Winter (1991). |
