Question
This substance “is letting go of you” and “finds a new boo” in a 2018 book-length breakup poem by Tommy Pico. A poem exclaims, “poetry to no purpose! all this [this substance]! all these words,” in a section that laments, “since words were introduced here things have gone poorly for the planet.” A long poem claims this substance “has to be the poem of our time” because it “is spiritual, believable enough / to get our attention.” The speaker of a poem partly titled for this substance vows to look “like Walt Whitman” with “a homemade (*) bomb in the pocket.” In a reference to Yeats, a poetic speaker named for this substance repeats, “Let us arise and go now / to the Isle of Manisfree.” A long poem titled for this substance won the 1993 National Book Award for A. R. Ammons. For 10 points, a man who works with what substance titles an “Obbligato” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti? ■END■
