Question

One of these people is said to “beat time on my head with a palm caked hard by dirt” in a poem where the“whiskey on their breath could make a small (10[1])boy dizzy.” The line “a cleft in your chin instead of your foot”describes one of these people, another of whose “waltz” titles a poem (10[1])by Thoedore Roethke. This type of person titles a poem which opens “you do not do, you do not do,” in which they are said to have “a stake” in their “fat black heart” and are told “you bastard, (10[1])I’m through.” For 10 points, what type of person is addressed as a “man in black with a Meinkampf look” in a Sylvia Plath poem? ■END■
