| Notes | This poem does not explicitly address the Holocaust but does draw on quotations from poets of witness such as Paul Celan and Rose Ausländer. Shane Alcobia-Murphy has identified an important intertext: 'German and European Poetics after the Holocaust', edited by G. Hofmann et al. Like other poems by McGuckian in this dataset, accounts of witness from other sources are incorporated into her poems. This is a self-reflexive technique that underscores the challenges of bearing witness to atrocities such as the Holocaust. See Shane Alcobia-Murphy, 'Living so Far from Words', RISE 1.1 (2016). |
