Question

(15[15])In another (15[2])poem, (15[1])this author’s dead brother wears (15[1])a “poppy bruise” (15[1])while (15[1])lying in a “four-foot (15[1])box, (15[3])a foot for every year.” The narrator of a poem by this author discovers (*) “great slime kings” (10[1])“gathered there for vengeance” (-5[1])when returning to a “flax-dam” to collect frogspawn. This author described bringing his grandfather milk “corked sloppily with paper” in a poem (10[1])that analogizes the title action to a “squat pen” “between my finger (10[1])and my thumb.” For 10 points, name this author of “Death of a Naturalist” (10[1])and (10[1])“Digging.” ■END■ (10[3]0[5])
