Answer 2

Answer:

Auto Wreck

Explanation:

• When he was 32 years old, Karl Shapiro won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. He quickly gained recognition for the clarity he brought to his writing, eschewing the devices and intellectualism other artists used to elevate poetry.
• Shapiro's Selected Poems had "Auto Wreck" among its poems. The focus on human frailty and the destruction that violence has on reason are common themes when thinking about war, thus there is little doubt that this poem has a relationship to war poetry. Shapiro uses this sensibility in a context that most Americans are likely to be familiar with from their personal experiences: a household setting.
• Because the interstate system was still being developed at the time this poem was written, man's capacity for high-speed travel (and consequently for catastrophic accidents) had developed much more quickly than safety devices. For this reason, Shapiro may have found an automobile accident to be the equivalent of war, matching it for senseless violence.
• Shapiro continuously developed his literary voice to renew his observations of the world thanks to his versatility as a poet.
