Round 4: Tossup 5

A poem’s speaker walks in one of these places “with that electric self seeking types.” In one of these places, “the old mother sways her to-and-fro singing her husky song” as the speaker lists items like “all distances of place however wide.” (10[2])At one of these places, the speaker “translates” an italicized song about “We two together no more.” (10[1])Ngũgĩ took the title Weep Not, Child (-5[1])from (-5[1])a poem (-5[1])set at one of these (-5[1])places, where a father consoles his daughter when clouds cover Jupiter and the Pleiades. (-5[1])A 2017 Hong Sang-soo film (-5[1])is titled for a poem set at one of these places “at (10[1])night alone,” (10[1])which appears in a (10[1]-5[1])cluster whose first entry recalls walking at one of these places and hearing a “solitary guest from Alabama.” (-5[1])For 10 points, Walt Whitman hears a mocking bird call out at what kind of (10[1])place (10[1])in “Out of the Cradle Endlessly (10[1])Rocking”? ■END■ (10[3]0[11])
