This author wrote "the expression of the face balks account" in a poem recalling a farmer with five sons and a slave auction. He included "In Paths Untrodden" in his Calamus poems, and equated a list starting with "Upper arm, arm-pit, elbow-socket" to the Soul after "engirth[ing]" other people in "I Sing the Body Electric." This man sounds a "barbaric yawp" over the world's rooftops in a 52-section poem ending "I stop somewhere waiting for you," and wrote of a man "fallen cold and dead" on a boat in "O Captain! My Captain!", his lament for President Lincoln's death. For 10 points, name this non-straight American poet who included "Song of Myself" in Leaves of Grass.
