In a book titled for the "visual text" of this poet, Henry M. Sayre compared the artistic merit of one of his poems to that of Duchamp's Fountain, noting the importance of its "banal, trivial" nature. This poet wrote of the "twiggy stuff" of bushes and trees, "They enter the new world naked, cold, uncertain of all save that they enter". One of his short poems describes a cat that "climbed over the top of the jamcloset" and "into the pit of the empty flowerpot". This author of "Poem" and "Spring and All" wrote a poem whose speaker says, "forgive me they were delicious", after admitting he ate the plums in the icebox. For 10 points, name this poet of "This Is Just to Say" who described an object "glazed with rain water beside the white chickens" in "The Red Wheelbarrow".
