Question
In one poem, this author described a figure who “seems to weep / the black river of himself.” In the “old man-killing parishes,” this author sees a man with a “peat-brown head” and feels “lost, / unhappy and at home.” That poem is one of this author’s “bog body” poems. In another poem, this author’s dead brother wears a “poppy bruise” while lying in a “four-foot box, a foot for every year.” The narrator of a poem by this author discovers (*) “great slime kings” “gathered there for vengeance” when returning to a “flax-dam” to collect frogspawn. This author described bringing his grandfather milk “corked sloppily with paper” in a poem that analogizes the title action to a “squat pen” “between my finger and my thumb.” For 10 points, name this author of “Death of a Naturalist” and “Digging.” ■END■
