Tate Published

Famous quotes containing the words tate and/or published:

    I stood in the empty hall
    And watched them come and go
    From one room to another,
    Old men, old women slow,
    Familiar; girls, boys;
    I saw my downcast mother....
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Until the Women’s Movement, it was commonplace to be told by an editor that he’d like to publish more of my poems, but he’d already published one by a woman that month ... this attitude was the rule rather than the exception, until the mid-sixties. Highest compliment was to be told, “You write like a man.”
    Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
