| Notes | The poem forms part of a sequence of lyrics written about the death of the poet's mother. Sexton employs the world of video games and Super Mario interspersed with fragments of private memories between past and present. The collection is written in two parts. The specific poem document's the speaker's uncle's story of emigration from Ireland to Tasmania to work in the mines where he died. The same story is recounted in another poem in the collection, titled 'Valley of Browser 2'. |
