Extra Credit #2!

Coincidentally, both of the classes I teach (freshmen and AP Lit) are reading books right now with titles derived from the same poet's work. To claim your extra credit, email me with your name, period and answers to the following questions.

1) What is the name of the poet whose poems inspired the titles for the two books my classes are reading?
2) What are the titles of the two poems that the book titles are taken from?
3) When,and in what country, do they celebrate this poet with a special "supper"?
4) What is the name of his most famous song that is traditionally sung at his "supper" and also traditionally sung on New Years Eve?

You must answer ALL of the questions to receive your credit. Happy searching!
