This poet’s “ominous voice – drunk with pain – rising from heart’s depths” echoes through the Stray Dog cabaret in another author’s poem. This author described a “mute world” with “only two voices: yours and mine” in a poem written after a visit from Isaiah Berlin. This author of “Cinque” (“SANK”) imagined the coo of a prison dove as “ships sail softly down” a river at the end of one poem. A woman says she has “so much to do today,” like (*) “kill memory,” in that poem by this author. A blue-lipped woman asks this author “can you describe this?” at the start of a poem. This poet responded to her son’s imprisonment in a poem whose sections include “Crucifixion” and “Instead of a Preface.” For 10 points, name this Russian author who wrote “Requiem” and “Poem Without a Hero.” ■END■
