Round 4: Tossup 17

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” 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 the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.” For 10 points, Julia Ward Howe wrote what place’s “Battle Hymn”? ■END■ (10[3])
