The speaker of a poem titled for this place begins, “Viciousness in the kitchen! / The potatoes hiss” and refuses to drown her kittens; that poem is by Sylvia Plath. This title place is called a “land of hot and languorous nights” in a poem that, along with “The Vampire’s Metamorphoses” and “Lethe,” was one of six to be censored from initial publication in the collection it appears in. A poet from this (-5[1])island feels “greener than grass” (15[1])and “thin / fire ... racing under skin” in a poem beginning, (*) “He seems to me equal to the gods.” The lyric poet (10[1])Alcaeus lived on this island, which is home to an author who pleads with a “deathless” deity “of the spangled mind” in Anne Carson’s translation If Not, Winter. For 10 points, name this Greek island home to Sappho, which inspired (10[1])a term for gay women. ■END■
