Which author wrote The Emigree?

• A. Carol Rumens
• B. Imtiaz Dharker
• C. William Blake
• D. Ted Hughes

Answer: (A)

This question tests your knowledge of who authored a poem in the Power and Conflict section. The Emigree is written by Carol Rumens, a contemporary British poet. The poem is known for its memory-driven voice and themes of exile and belonging, often taught as an example of how a speaker recalls a homeland with both nostalgia and defiance. Because Rumens is the creator of this exact piece, she is the correct author. The other names—William Blake from the Romantic era, Ted Hughes from the mid-20th century, and Imtiaz Dharker a contemporary poet known for other works on identity and space—did not write this poem.
