Notes This poem makes an explicit reference to war, however, the context is not specified, and the explicit emphasis of the poem is not on armed conflict. References to snow, igloo, sledge, and musk indicate an Artic location. The poem appears to draw, to some extent, on 'Never in Anger: Portrait of an Eskimo Family' (1971) by Jean L. Briggs.
