One of this author's poems instructs the title character to "go to the western gate." He based many characters on people from Gardiner, Maine, which became the fictional "Tilbury Town" in his poems. One of his poems describes a man who was "born too late" and "kept on drinking." This poet also invented a character who was "richer than a king" and "a gentleman from sole to crown," who went home one summer night and inexplicably "put a bullet in his head." For 10 points, name this American poet of "Miniver Cheevy" and "Richard Cory."
