Re: A SLOW DANCE by John Montague (1975)

For an illuminating discussion of this poem (along with similar themes in the works of Montague's Irish contemporaries) – a discussion which I am sure will prove inspiring to readers of this thread and the MA in general – please see pages 45 - 49 of the book “Medieval and Modern Ireland”, by Richard Wall, available on the web as a limited preview at Google Books:

Also, this article may be of interest as well, describing, in the last paragraph, a staging of the poem at the Seskilgreen passage grave in Tyrone:
