| Notes | The poem is included in Bardwell's 1991 poetry collection Dostoevsky's Grave and pays homage to the Russian Romantic writer Alexander Pushkin whose work was censored and lead to his exile. The speaker discusses Irish and world literature and arts with a stranger. References to Russian poets Anna Akhmatova, who lived and worked in the shadow of Stalinism, as well as to Osip Mandelstam and his wife Nadezhda Mandelstam who were sentenced to be imprisoned in Soviet correction camps, raise issues of human rights regarding freedom of speech, violence, and totalitarian regimes. |
