Rosenthal, Who Championed Poetry, Dies at 79 - New York Times ] ] [ [http://www.pshares.org/authors/authordetails.cfm?prmAuthorID=1303 Ploughshares, the literary journal ] ] 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.
