| Notes | The poem is another version of the same theme revisited in Dorcey's poem 'Two Mothers' that is also included in the same poetry collection. It deals with the experience of engaging with news of atrocities committed in other countries against women and our ability to have empathy while reading about human rights crimes and gender violence in the newspaper. |
