| Notes | The allegorical title of the poem alludes to the humanist material culture as a perennial symbol of human greed and violence. The speaker assumes the boastful voice of an annihilator who lists a series of historical catastrophes from antiquity through WWII to the present. The title of the collection What the Earth Cost Us is a quote by Osip Mandelstam. |
