He is a most agile poet in a precarious world. Life is alarming and absurd, but properly considered that absurdity reveals, often with laughter, the something else by which we live. The poems are about our world, our wrecked, vexed love for it. Tate has been described as a surrealist. If that is what he is, his surrealism issues in a vision of a world delivered back to itself by his unillusioned subversion and candor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Tate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819511927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819511928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.50w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pulitzer Prize - Winner","brand":"James Tate","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047293186303,"sku":"9780819511928","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f00669de-3e5c-4f1d-a137-cb6c038e29d1.jpg?v=1684989375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-poems-james-tate-9780819511928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
