Allen Tate Poems, 1922-1947

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I considered arranging these poems in the order of their writing but gave it up be cause I couldn't imagine a reader who would be interested in it. Some of the earliest pieces will be found next to the latest; only a few dates are given. I am not sure I could explain why I think certain poems go with others, in the groups into which the book is divided; at any rate a book of verse in sections is easier to take hold of than an unbroken string of poems. Somewhat more than half of this book appeared as Selected Poems in 1937; it contains all of The Winter Sea.
