Rejoice, perhaps. Last week was published a superb volume by a member of our generation. James Tate, 23, is the Yale Younger Poet for 1967, "one of the youngest" to receive that award, as his editors point out. He is unmistakably the best winner in at least five years, since Alan Dugan; and the Yale award itself, I would argue, is the most significant of our domestic awards, incapable of the antiquarianism to which Pulitzer judges seem so prone, and also (under Dudley Witts's lone and brilliant editorship) unthreatened by the coterie pressures and needs to compromise that seem...

The exhibition of 49 works prepared by Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, which was exhibited in Holland (see color page) before opening last week at London's Tate Gallery, was aimed at giving Smith his first major international showing. Ironically, it is the one he never saw. In May 1965, while returning home from visiting an artist friend in Bennington, Vt., he drove off the road and was killed. But though his death at the age of 59 robbed him of accolades abroad, he had by his independence set the life style for a generation...
