| Notes | This poem refers to bombing of a home in Garazde - more commonly written as Goražde, a town in Bosnia-Herzegovina. It was barricaded by Bosnian Serbs (like Srebrenica had been) since it was a majority Muslim Bosniak area. The Serbs made several attempts to take the town despite UN Protection of the area. However, the town avoided the fate of Srebrenice. The speaker of the poem contrasts the everyday noises of an Irish kitchen, being filtered by the 'listener', with the sound of the explosion in the kitchen in Garazde. |
