Question

In a poem by this author, an “ashamed” figure who says “if I did good deeds, I know not of them” is praised as the “best little blade of grass” by God. (15[1])The speaker of a poem (15[1])by this man (15[1])demands that a seer show him “the book of wisdom”; (15[1])when he does, the speaker notes “strange that I should have grown so suddenly blind.” A “fool” who strives for greatness is told “go pluck (-5[1])a bough and wear it” in one (10[1])of the many short verses this poet called “lines.” (15[1])In this man's first collection, a poem that describes the (*) “ride of Sin” precedes (-5[1])one in which a “creature, naked, (10[1])bestial” (10[7])tells the speaker (10[4])“I like it (-5[1])/ (10[1])because (10[1])it is bitter (10[1])/ (10[1])and because it is my heart.” (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, name this poet of War is Kind whose first collection, The Black Riders, was published in the same year as his Civil War novel about Henry Fleming.
