This author is described as an “odoriferous poet” by a sentient chair before meeting the composer Benjamin Britten in Alan Bennett’s play The Habit of Art. A poem by this author advises “Let not Time deceive you, / You cannot conquer time” and promises “I’ll love you / Till Africa and China meet, / And the river jumps over the mountain.” This author considered five of his poems to be “trash” and later changed the word “or” in his most famous poem to “and.” Another poem by this author of “As I Walked Out One Evening” bemoans a man who was “my North, my South, my East and West.” One poem by this author begins with the speaker sitting in “one of the dives / On Fifty-second street” and later declares “We must love one another or die.” For 10 points, name this poet of “Funeral Blues” and “September 1, 1939.” ■END■
