He's not William Carlos Williams, but one of this author's poems addresses an asphodel as "O dear sweet rosy unattainable desire." He also wrote a poem which describes "a swarm of baggage sitting by the counter as the transcontinental bus pulls in." The speaker of one poem by this author is obsessed with Time magazine and addresses the title country by saying "I've given you all and now I'm nothing" as well as "Go (*) fuck yourself with your atom bomb." The speaker of another of his poems asks "Will we walk all night through solitary streets?" and observes another figure asking "Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas?" That poem describes Walt Whitman as a "childless, lonely old grubber." Part three of his most famous work begins with "Carl Solomon! I'm with you in Rockland." For 10 points, name this author of "A Supermarket in California" and "Howl."
