 Expert About ra:Ransom
Ransom is so closely related to the metaphysical poets whom he knew so thoroughly that exploring this aspect of his style and form is particularly useful, as is any consideration of his juxtaposition of different levels of diction and his use of surprising words or word forms.
Ransom can be productively compared to other Fugitive poets, especially to Allen Tate in his wit and irony; to metaphysical poets, both early and modern; to the tradition of the elegy; and to other writers who explore the same subject matter, for example,"Philomela" to The Waste Land.
Ransom's journal, as kept aboard the Kineo, is unusually detailed and well-written, and describes important events in some of the most critical naval engagements of the war.

 Robert Penn Warren: An Appreciation
Warren would break ground in the 1930s and 1940s with his incisive critical studies of many of his contemporaries while their careers were still thriving, notably Thomas Wolfe, Eudora Welty, Katherine Anne Porter, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Robert Frost, and Ransom, his mentor.
Warren shifted frequently and effortlessly between poetry and nonfiction during the 1920s and 1930s because, while he viewed a poem as a work of art requiring many revisions, he felt that criticism was more a diversion from his creative endeavors.
Warren should also be remembered as a great educator who found the college classroom as a haven for intellectual pursuits and who challenged his students with lectures, essays, and textbooks imbued with original and timeless meditations on man's struggle with himself and his world.

My first encounter with her was on a TV show she shared with Warren Davis for the Ontario Region.
When we’d left the show, Warren Davis had tacked on a statement that “we” certainly didn’t want what Mathews and Steele advocated because that would take Canada back to having quotas on Jews in medical schools, and other such bad practices.
Davis turned on me and told me he’d never met anyone as despicable as I was.
