Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Robert Penn Warren, though known as a novelist (All the Kings Men) was also a noted southern poet!. Check him out on poets!.org, as well as the "Fugitives group", a group of southern poets based at Vanderbilt (TN)!.

Robert Penn Warren

Robert Penn Warren was born in Guthrie, Todd County, Kentucky, on April 24, 1905!. He entered Vanderbilt University in 1921, where he became the youngest member of the group of Southern poets called the Fugitives, which included John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, Donald Davidson, and Merrill Moore!. Warren's first poems were published in The Fugitive, a magazine which the group published from 1922 to 1925!. The Fugitives were advocates of the rural Southern agrarian tradition and based their poetry and critical perspective on classical aesthetic ideals!.
