The speaker of one of this author's poems looks down at the cobblestones of an empty hotel yard and thinks "Featureless morning, featureless night." Another of this author's poems describes a voice "singing of Kitty, or Katy, as if the name meant once, all love, all beauty" during a funeral procession. This author of "Waiting for breakfast, while she brushed her hair" and "Dublinesque" imagined "Bonds and gestures pushed to one side / Like an old combine harvester" in a poem whose speaker guesses that a girl is "Taking pills, or wearing a diaphragm" and declares "I know this is paradise." In addition to "High Windows," he wrote a poem advising "Get out as early as you can, and don't have any kids yourself." For 10 points, name this British poet who wrote "They fuck you up, your mum and dad" in his poem "This be the Verse."
