Question
In one poem, this author references “two angora guinea pigs” he inherited from his cousin Harriet along with a house in Castine. In another poem, this poet describes his five-year old self dressed as a “stuffed toucan” visiting his dying grandfather. This poet commands “ask for no Orphean lute / To pluck life back” after describing a corpse whose “open, staring eyes / Were lustreless dead-lights.” This poet, who wrote about his “Last Afternoon” with his uncle Devereux (“DEV-er-row”), exclaims “Clamavimus, O depths,” in a poem that ends by declaring, “The (*) Lord survives the rainbow of his will.” That poem, which this author dedicated to “Warren Winslow, dead at sea,” includes a section titled “Our Lady of Walsingham” and repeatedly alludes to Moby-Dick with descriptions of whaling. For 10 points, name this confessional poet of “The Quaker Graveyard in Nantucket.” ■END■
