Question
This poet writes “Today / you would not be / lonely” to conclude a poem addressed to a Frenchman who would be “a hundred years old / this October.” This author of “Ode to Jean Arthur Rimbaud” is the dedicatee of an Elégie by lifelong friend Louis Aragon, written after an earthquake wrecked this author’s house in 1965. A speech by this author quotes a Rimbaud “prophecy” that describes the conquest of “the (*) splendid city” through “burning patience.” As a teenager, this poet neglected university studies of French to write a collection whose last poem describes sex as an encounter of “hungering teeth” and “entwined bodies.” This poet’s collections Spain in Our Hearts and Residence on Earth draw on his time as a diplomat in Europe. For 10 points, name this poet who wrote “The memory of you emerges from the night around me” to begin his “Song of Despair.” ■END■
