Tate Published

Famous quotes containing the words tate and/or published:

    A quick caress she gives the rose,
    Lilac, geranium all in season . . .
    Oh, if she might have seen a reason
    For powdering her nose!
    —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)
