A negative review of this author's work by William Logan triggered a nasty letter by his biographer Paul Mariani that disputed what kind of jacket this poet was wearing when he died. He described "fine collapses" that "are not lies / More than the pirouettes of any pliant cane" in a poem that begins: "We make our meek adjustments, / Contented with such random consolations / As the wind deposits." The line "Permit me voyage, love, into your hands" appears in a poem by him that describes "Bright striped urchins flay[ing] each other with sand." This poet of "Chaplinesque" and "Voyages" described Columbus's discovery of America in "Ave Maria," which joins "Powhatan's Daughter" as sections of his longest poem. For 10 points, name this American poet of White Buildings and The Bridge.
