  • If you look in the new Anthology books you will see they have removed it :p

  • yes, i know it is also to symbolise a turning point, eg the shape ( u - turn )

    good poem tho.

  • Actually it is not random! the poet places the closed bracket to signify closure - the ending of a culture. after the children have died, there is nothing left. very poignant.

  • this is good one!!!

  • in my anthology book theres a mistake wheres theres a random ) theres no ( to it its just randomly placed lmao
