Editing Randall Jarrell (section)

==Legacy==
On February 28, 1966, a memorial service was held in Jarrell's honor at [[Yale University]], and some of the best-known poets in the country attended and spoke at the event, including [[Robert Lowell]], [[Richard Wilbur]], [[John Berryman]], [[Stanley Kunitz]], and [[Robert Penn Warren]]. Reporting on the memorial service, ''[[The New York Times]]'' quoted [[Robert Lowell|Lowell]] who said that Jarrell was "'the most heartbreaking poet of our time'. . . [and] had written 'the best poetry in English about the Second World War.'"<ref>Gilroy, Harry. "Poets Honor Memory of Jarrell at Yale." ''The New York Times'' 1 March 1966.</ref> These memorial tributes formed the basis for the book ''Randall Jarrell 1914-1965'' which [[Farrar, Straus and Giroux]] published the following year.

In 2004, the Metropolitan Nashville Historical Commission approved placement of a historical marker in his honor, to be placed at his alma mater, [[Hume-Fogg High School]]. A North Carolina Highway Historical Marker was placed near his burial site in Greensboro, North Carolina.
