This author wrote a poem in which the "armpit-fragrance" of an "oblong-headed lioness" turns "chloroform enough" for the speaker's "patience." That poem appears in a cycle which renders the milieu of "the collective rape of innocence and profanation of mysteries," and concludes with the Sunbird once again being able to sing. One of this writer's last poems was written in the form of a "praise song" to honor the centenary of W. B. Yeats' birth. The barefooted speaker of another poem by this writer leans "on an oilbean" while being lost in a certain figure's "legend" as he "stands naked." This author of the collection Limits and the poem "Lament of the Masks" addressed the watery-goddess Mother Idoto in his sequence Heavensgate. For 10 points, name this poet of the collection Labyrinths With a Path of Thunder, who was killed fighting for the independence of Biafra.
