One of this author's poems asks "Can you love an eagle/ Wild or tame?" and ends with an instruction to kill the title figure "and let his soul run wild." This poet wrote that he likes Bach, bop, and Bessie in "Theme for English B." Another of his works features a "Negro" with "ebony hands" playing a "drowsy syncopated tune," and is called "The Weary Blues." In another poem, this author wonders whether the title concept would "stink like rotten meat" or "dry up like a raisin in the sun." For 10 points, name this poet of the Harlem Renaissance who wrote "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" and "A Dream Deferred."
