Paratext Text For Aislinn O'Moore Cunningham
Notes As the title indicates, this poem focuses on refugees now living in Dublin. There are no specifics in the poem regarding this family's country of origin or history, rather there is a general commentary on the difficulty of leaving 'home' behind and starting again in a place where one stands out - 'too different to ever / blend with the crowd'.
