Baku: Cove of the Caspian
After going to Baku in Azerbaijan to teach a Masterclass in Corporate Social Responsibility, I was struck by the city's ancient history, diverse culture (with Turkish, Arabian and Russian influences) and sprawling modernisation due to oil revenues. I tried to capture this sense in a poem, which begins:
The scattered seeds of history
Lie sheltered in the desert shade
And watered by the crescent moon
Rise up to form a sickle blade
