Notes This collection of poetry is set mainly in Slovenia. This poem refers to the poet-speaker's invitation to an event with music and song, which is described in detail in the poem. However, the speaker notes an atmosphere of threat and propaganda in the poem, referencing searchlights, and 'míbhinneas na mbréag' - a 'cacophany of lies' - which assaults everyone's ears. The location is hinted to by the reference to those who are delayed coming from Croatia.
