Question

In The Redress of Poetry, a critic argued that the form of a poem titled for this place reflected how its author “mutated into a propagandist” in the tradition of his mother. While at this place in 2016, Patti Smith read from an earlier work written in this place, whose final paragraph describes how Nature’s “bitter herbs make me whole.” A poem set in this place describes the speaker’s peers looking (-5[1])“with a wistful eye” up at the “little tent of blue” (15[2])called the sky. A (*) letter written (10[1])in this place asserts that “Christ’s place indeed is with the poets” (-5[1])and was (10[1])addressed to a man nicknamed (-5[1])“Bosie.” (10[2])The letter (10[1])“De (10[1])Profundis” (10[6])was (10[1])written in this place, (10[8])which titles a poem that laments, “Each man (10[1])kills (10[1])the thing he loves.” (10[1])For 10 points, name this location where Oscar Wilde (10[1])was imprisoned (10[1])for his homosexuality. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: Reading Gaol (“redding jail”) [or HM Prison Reading; or The Ballad of Reading Gaol; prompt on jail; prompt on (Oscar Wilde’s) prison cell or C.3.3 with “In what prison was this cell located?”] (The critic in the first line is Seamus Heaney.)
