Round 6: Tossup 8

The speaker of a poem by this author asks “Who can reach the deaf / Who can speak for the dumb?” before claiming to be composed “of Eros and of dust.” In one poem, this poet refers to the subject as “my North, my South, my East and West.” (10[1])A poem by this author claims “all school children learn / Those to whom evil is done / Do evil in return.” A poem by this author suggests using a “juicy bone” to quiet a barking dog, and commands “stop all the clocks.” The line “I sit in one of the dives / On Fifty-second Street” opens a poem in which this author asserts “We must love one another or die.” For 10 points, name this (10[1])British-American poet of “Funeral Blues” and “September 1, 1939.” ■END■ (10[1]0[1])
