In one poem, this man writes, "I cannot look at forsythia now/without loss, or joy for you" as he tells the title figure, "I'll sell my arms for you/hold your secrets forever".
In one poem, this man writes, "I cannot look at forsythia now/without loss, or joy for you" as he tells the title figure, "I'll sell my arms for you/hold your secrets forever". That poem which begins, "All night long the hockey pictures/gaze down at you" is titled "To A Sad Daughter". This man wrote a novel in which one character purposely scratches the erotic photographs he creates, and that character is based on E. J. Bellocq. The main character of that novel is the jazz player Buddy Bolden who is slowly sinking into schizophrenia. This author of Coming Through Slaughter also wrote about the immigrant Nicholas Temelcoff in another novel that relates Patrick Lewis' search for the millionaire Ambrose Small. For 10 points, name this author of In the Skin of a Lion, which was followed by the sequel, The English Patient.
