Descriptions of “a Turkish carpet,” “a wardrobe with a mirror,” and “three big wicker chairs” open a poem by this author that remarks “we separated for a week only / And then – that week became forever.” The speaker of one of this author’s poems desires that “mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony” and “sensual perfumes” are bestowed upon the reader, who is “destined” to arrive in the title location. The appendix of Lawrence Durrell’s novel Justine contains an English translation of a poem by this author about a place that “will always follow you” and “leave you no new places to find.” In one poem by this author, the title activity is framed as an answer to questions about “senators sitting there without legislating” and being “assembled in the forum.” For 10 points, name this poet who described the title group as “a kind of solution” in “Waiting for the Barbarians.” ■END■
