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. The speaker of a poem (15[1])by this man demands that a seer show him “the book of wisdom”; 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.” In this man's first collection, a poem that describes the (*) “ride of Sin” precedes (-5[1])one in which a “creature, naked, bestial” (10[1])tells the speaker “I like it / (10[1])because it is bitter / (10[1])and because it is my heart.” 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.
