| Notes | An Anti - G8 protest in Enniskillen, 2013 is described in this poem. The anti-war signs mentioned in the poem are likely in reference to the Syrian conflict, which was raging at the time and which was heavily discussed at this particular G8 summit. The speaker of the poem seems to feel guilty that he is distracted from the protest - because he wishes he could be with an attractive young woman that he sees at the march. Máirtín Ó Direáin's poem 'Ár Ré Dhearóil' is referenced in this poem with the lines 'gníomhaí romham.../gníomhaí im dhiaidh'. |
