This poet wrote, "ask for no Orphean lute to pluck life back" in a poem concluding, "The Lord survives the rainbow of his will." That poem describes "the end of the whaleroad and the whale." In another poem, the speaker states, "I hear my ill-spirit sob in each blood cell," before observing a creature that "drops her ostrich tail, and will not scare." This man, who dedicated that poem to Elizabeth Bishop, also described how "giant finned cars nose forward like fish" in a poem noting, "Colonel Shaw is riding on his bubble." For 10 points, name this American poet of "The Quaker Graveyard in Nantucket," "Skunk Hour," and"For the Union Dead."
