One of the early-twentieth century Southern intellectuals and artists of the early twentieth century known as the Agrarians, Allen Tate wrote poetry that was rooted strongly in that region's past—in the land, the people, and the traditions of the American South as well as in the forms and concerns of the classic poets. In "Ode to the Confederate Dead"— generally recognized as his greatest poem—he delineates both the horror of the sight of rows of tombstones at a Confederate cemetery and the honor that such sacrifice embodies, resulting in "a masterpiece that could not be transcended" (William Pratt).

reviewed Collected Poems, 1919-1976 on January 02, 2019 Collected Poems, 1919-1976
This collection of Allen Tate's poetry and translations captures the full range of his remarkable and significant literary career. It is a much-needed addition to the world of American poetry.
Arranged in broad epochs, Collected Poems presents Tate's work chronologically, except for his translations, which appear in their own chapter, and his very early or unfinished works. While not authoritative and sadly lacking in footnotes, this bare-boned approach does allow the majesty of Tate's poetry to stand out on its own.
Tate will be of the greatest significance for those interested in 20th century American poetry with a strongly Southern bent; fans of both of the Fugitives and the Agrarians will, naturally, find much to enjoy.
