Hear America Singing.  
Wallace Stevens described this figure "singing and chanting the things that are part of him" in the poem "Like Decorations in a Nigger Cemetery." In the poem "A Pact," Ezra Pound writes that this figure "broke the new wood [and]/Now is a time for carving." In a 1930 ode to him, another poet describes this earlier writer moaning "like a bird/with its sex pierced by a needle" and a group of young men chasing his "beard full of butterflies"; that is a Garcia-Lorca homage citing this writer's putative homosexuality.  This poet described a carpenter measuring out a plank in I Hear America Singing.  For 10 points, name this nineteenth-century poet whose "barbaric yawp" was sounded in works like "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" and "Song of Myself."
