| Notes | Not exactly a translation, but inspired by, or a version of the German poet's text. Near-explicit references to the holocaust, mentions being "sickened" by Black Forest, and also refers to the Jewish population of Europe. Questions of race arising from this are extended to whiteness, Englishess, and Irish history. |
