The Eternal Ones of the Dream - by James Tate (Paperback)

The Eternal Ones of the Dream is a breathtaking collection of poems from the last two decades of work of one of modern American poetry's major artists, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner James Tate.

Tate's remarkable work--filled with dark wit, dry humor, and deceptive simplicity--is considered among the most accessible poetry written in the last several decades, and it has inspired acclaimed poet W.S.

Merwin to write, "Mr.

Tate's gift is such that many of [his] poems move me at least to plain envy of what he can do." This collection showcases Tate's unique style, which strikes its own utterly new and original note in American poetry, transforming our everyday experience into something extraordinary.

With its meditative, introverted, self-reliant, funny, alarming, strange, difficult, intelligent, and beautifully crafted poems, The Eternal Ones of the Dream is a must-read for anyone who loves poetry or wants to explore the depths of human emotion.
