Notes This collection of poetry is based on the author's journey to Eastern Europe. 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 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.
