Question
This author describes how “The names of seashore towns run out to sea, / the names of cities cross the neighboring mountains” in a poem that opens “Land lies in water; it is shadowed green.” This author observes a lit-up city as “bright turgid blood” and “green and luminous / silicate rivers” in a poem set at night in an overhead plane. A collection by this poet opens with question-and-answer lessons from a 19th century textbook, such as “What is the (*) Earth? / The planet or body on which we live.” In a poem by this author that repeats the date “February 1918,” the speaker looks at photographs of a volcano and “horrifying” breasts while reading National Geographic in a dentist’s office. For 10 points, name this poet whose collection Geography III contains “In the Waiting Room” and the villanelle “One Art.” ■END■
