Question
A poem about this war declares “Autumn is desolation in the plot” and is set in a place where “the brute curiosity of an angel's stare / turns you . . . to stone.” In a poem set during this war, an old woman leans out of an attic and shouts “Shoot, if you must, this old gray head, / but spare your country’s flag.” The line “row after row with strict impunity” opens an Allen (*) Tate ode to fallen soldiers in this war that inspired a student’s poem that describes how “savage servility / slides by on grease.” A monument to this war “sticks like a fishbone / in the city’s throat” in a poem that describes “St. Gaudens’ shaking” relief in the Boston Common. For 10 points, name this war that inspired Robert Lowell’s “For the Union Dead.” ■END■
