Muuji qoraalka

Levertov was active in protesting against the Vietnam War. The poem was written before the withdrawal of American troops in 1973. The Vietnam War was about defeating communism. The US used napalm, a particularly harrowing weapon, against civilians. This poem explores what may have happened if the US and anti-communist forces had won the war.
