Great Regulars: Henry Timrod's name recently surfaced

when it was discovered that Bob Dylan had plagiarized some of Timrod’s poems in his most recent album, Modern Times. Unlike Allen Tate's original poem which was legitimately inspired by Timrod's poem, Dylan actually lifted lines the Civil War poet’s poems without even mentioning Timrod.

from Linda Sue Grimes: BellaOnline: Poet Laureate of the Confederacy--Henry Timrod
