To match the excerpts with the categories of poetry, let's analyze the content:

1. **Poetry of Place** typically reflects the significance or essence of a specific location.
2. **Poetry of Spirit** often delves into themes of emotion, soul, or existential reflection.
3. **Poetry of Nature** focuses on the natural world, including elements like plants, animals, and landscapes.
4. **Poetry of Family** deals with relationships, experiences, and sentiments related to family members.

Now, let's evaluate the excerpt:

- "Dove-twirl in the tall grass. End-of-summer glaze next door On the gloves and split ends of the conked magnolia tree. Work sounds: truck back-up-beep, wood tin-hammer, cicada, fire horn."

This excerpt evokes imagery of nature with references to grass, magnolia trees, and various sounds in the environment. Thus, it aligns best with:

**Poetry of Nature.**

So, the answer is **C: Poetry of Nature.**
