Tate is consistency funny, twisting everyday rituals into bizarre dramas. Some of his imagery inhabits my dreams. ( ) This is a pleasantly beguiling book. Imagine Billy Collins's whimsical anecdotes refracted through Ashbery's world of constant verbally adroit disjunction. Tate uses a flexible, graceful line, a simple vocabulary, wondrous images, and a surrealism that constantly teeters on the edge of rationality. Often amusing, usually gentle, occasionally macabre, these are lovely poems, but I wonder if they add up to much more than their immediate surface appeal. I will be intrigued to come back to these poems later to find if they have grown or deepened in import. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Poetry of the absurd. In Little Poem with Argyle Socks, he writes: "Behind every great man / there sits a rat. / And behind every great rat, / there's a flea. / Besides the flea there is an encyclopedia. / Every now and then the flea sneezes, looks up, / and flies into action, reorganizing history. / The rat says, God, I hate irony. / To which the great man replies, / Now now now, darling, drink your tea."
