In one poem, this author asks, "can you love a monster of frightening name?" before advising the reader to kill the title creature to "let his soul run wild."
In one poem, this author asks, "can you love a monster of frightening name?" before advising the reader to kill the title creature to "let his soul run wild." This man penned "Genius Child" and discussed a woman who contrasts her life with a "crystal stair" in "Mother to Son." He wondered whether a certain thing crusts and sugars over "like a syrupy sweet" or whether it explodes. Though he declared that "I, too, sing America," he also speculated that some hopes "dry up like a raisin in the sun." For 10 points, identify this poet whose "soul has grown deep like the rivers," who wrote about "a dream deferred" in "Harlem."
