Abstract

The article presents an interview with Kiran Singh, education and access curator at the St. Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art in Glasgow, Scotland about a poem written by Irish hunger striker Bobby Sands. Singh said that he came across the poem in The Troubles section of the Derry Tower Museum. When asked about how the museum acquired the poem, he said that it was believed to be smuggled out of prison before Sands' death. Singh found the poem interesting rather than moving.
