One of this author's poems describes an "alive, venomous" crowd laughing "permanently, seriously / without thought," and warns "the flashy female with her mother gets it" and "the Jew gets it straight." In another poem, this author imagines admiring his body while dancing "naked, grotesquely before [his] mirror," and asks "Who shall say I am not the happy genius of my household?" This author of "At the Ball Game" and "Dance Russe" wrote a poem in which boats race over a "sea of faces about them in agony, in despair," and warned "Hold back the edges of your gowns, Ladies, we are going through hell" in his introduction to Howl and Other Poems. Besides writing "The Yachts," he wrote the long poems Kora in Hell and Asphodel, that Greeny Flower, as well as a poem named for his New Jersey hometown. For 10 points, name this American poet of Paterson and "The Red Wheelbarrow."
