A b o u t t h e A u t h o r © 2011 College Board. All rights reserved. P o e t r y by Theodore Roethke The whisky on your breath could make a small boy dizzy; But I hung on like death: Such waltzing was not easy. We romped until the pans Slid from the kitchen shelf; My mother’s countenance 1 Could not unfrown itself. The hand that held one wrist Was battered on one knuckle; At every step you missed My right ear scraped a buckle. You beat time on my head With a palm caked hard by dirt, Then waltzed me off to bed Still clinging to your shirt. 5 10 15 The Midwest poet Theodore Roethke (1908–1963) created poetry notable for its introspection and fascination with nature. The son of a greenhouse owner, Roethke was impressed with greenhouses’ ability to bring life to the cold Michigan climate. Educated at the University of Michigan and Harvard University, Roethke taught at numerous universities where his enthusiasm for poetry made him a popular professor. Roethke received a Pulitzer Prize for The Waking (1954) and the National Book Award for the collection Words for the Wind (1957). Free Write: After studying the poem, free write to explore your initial interpretation of the text. Mark the text to identify words and phrases that support your interpretation. 1 countenance: facial expression Unit 1 • Perception Is Everything 11
