American poet (born 1911).

"Some poems begin as a set of words that you aren't sure what they apply 
to, but eventually the accumulate and become lines, and then you see 
some pattern emerge....they start out with a set of words that sound 
nice and don't make much sense but eventually reveal their 
purpose....You don't ask a poem what it means, you have to let it tell 
you."   (from a 1978 interview)

Some language talk in this stanza quoted by Crystal from "Invitation to 
Miss Marianne Moore", to Bishop's long time friend and mentor:

With dynasties of negative constructions
darkening and dying around you,
with grammar that suddenly turns and shines
like flocks of sandpipers flying,
       please come flying.
