In Poetry
The poem called Belfast Confetti tells of the attacks made by the IRA. It also shows the extent to which an Irish man was interrogated by British Police and how he failed to be able to answer their questions due to a language barrier. The moral of the poem is that without language, conflict cannot be resolved.

Famous quotes containing the word poetry:
“Poetry is essentially the antithesis of Metaphysics: Metaphysics purge the mind of the senses and cultivate the disembodiment of the spiritual; Poetry is all passionate and feeling and animates the inanimate; Metaphysics are most perfect when concerned with universals; Poetry, when most concerned with particulars.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“For me, poetry is always a search for order.”
—Elizabeth Jennings (b. 1926)
