Question

This poet introduced a long poem as a “reply to Greek and Latin with the bare hands.” This author echoed Xenophon by exclaiming, “the sea! The sea!” in a poem that describes how Homer’s catalogue of ships “fills up the time” and employs this author’s triadic-line form. That poem, which appears in this author’s collection Journey to Love, compares the title (*) flower to a “buttercup upon its branching stem.” This poet repeated the maxim “no ideas but in things” in an epic poem about a city in New Jersey. A short poem by this author ends by imploring, “forgive me / they were delicious / so sweet / and so cold.” For 10 points, name this poet of Paterson and “This is Just to Say.” ■END■
