It's Wallace Stevens. I've just discovered the poem actually has its own wikipedia entry, complete with a brief discussion of the author's thinking behind it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snow_Man

Why turkey-apostrophe-s, by the way? The poor turkeys don't own anything!
Here's a link to that one: http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/poetry/outloud/zephaniah_turkeys.shtml

Here's wishing turkeys everywhere a very happy new year!
