| Notes | This poem contains allusions to the work of Russian poet and revolutionary, Vladamir Mayakovsky (1893-1930). He is the first-person speaker of the poem. There is an explicit reference to his poem 'At the Top of My Voice' and to state interference or control of literary affairs '... giving orders to the Army of the Arts from the Commissar of Enlightenment'. |
