M. L. Rosenthal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Macha Louis Rosenthal (1917 – 21 July 1996) was an American poet and editor.[1][2] The W. B. Yeats Society of New York renamed their award for achievement in Yeats studies, the M. L. Rosenthal Award after Rosenthal's death. His essay Poetry as Confession is credited with first application of the term 'confession' to an approach to the writing of poetry, and thus being the source for the name of the Confessional poetry movement.
