This author dedicated the poem “The Crimson Cyclamen” to an artist who adapted a poem by this inventor of triadic-line poetry about seeing an object “Among the rain / and lights” on “a red / firetruck.” This author, whose poem “The Great Figure” inspired Charles Demuth’s painting I Saw the Figure Five in Gold, included a poem set “By the road to the contagious hospital” in his collection Spring and All. This poet wrote about an object “glazed with rain / water / beside the white / chickens.” The speaker of a poem by this author says, “I have eaten / the plums / that were in / the icebox.” For 10 points, name this Imagist poet of “The Red Wheelbarrow” and “This is Just to Say.” ■END■
