A long poem by this poet opens with Lee falling of a sea-cliff and being nursed back to health by his sister. One of his poems depicts people gathering shellfish at ebb-tide, and when they leave the speaker wonders why a single bird is more dear to him than many people. That poem expresses an idea which he called "the rejection of human solipsism" in the preface to one of his collections, and it is also expressed in a poem in which he says "I'd rather, except the penalties, kill a man than" one of the title creatures. His narrative poems include one dealing with incest in the Cauldwell family as well as an adaptation of the Oresteia called "The Tower Beyond Tragedy." This author of The Double Axe and "Hurt Hawks" is also known for works like The Women at Point Sur and "Tamar." For 10 points, name this "inhumanist" poet of "Roan Stallion" from California.
