This author imagined "long swords rusting...in the belly of stone ships" and "walking round and round in a space, utterly empty" in 8 sonnets dedicated to his mother. In addition to "North" and "Clearances," which appear in The Haw Lantern, this author that wrote "Into your virtual city I'll have passed Unregistered by scans, screens, hidden eyes" also showed "Options, obstacles, dug heels, and distance, Here and there and now and then, a stance." "Between my finger and my thumb, The squat pen rests; as snug as a gun," is a line from this author's poem "Digging." For ten points, name this poet of District and Circle and Death of a Naturalist, who is better known for translating Beowulf.
