In a 2019 collection titled for one of these places, the speaker states “The sound we do not hear lifts the gulls off the water” when a gunshot kills the boy Petya. In Spoon River Anthology, Anne Rutledge tells one of these places to “bloom forever… from the dust of my bosom.” One of these places titles a poem whose speaker notes “meteors are not needed less than mountains” and tells his sons “be in nothing so moderate as in love of man.” That Robinson Jeffers poem urges (*) “shine” to a “perishing” (10[1])one of these places. A song titled for one of these places replaces rude lyrics about a “sour apple tree” with lines like “As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free” and “He is trampling out (10[1])the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.” For 10 points, Julia Ward Howe wrote what place’s “Battle Hymn”?
