| Notes | The city of Kathmandu, Nepal, is imagined in this poem as a woman traversing the streets of the city and tending to her people. There are references to poverty and deprivation in the poem, as well as to civil unrest and revolution. This likely refers to the Nepalese Civil War, which raged from 1996-2006, and was fought between the Communist party of Nepal and the Nepalese government. The conflict led to the deaths of 17,000 people. |
