The Eternal Ones of the Dream: Selected Poems 1990 - 2010 by James Tate
"Tate's poems are meditative, introverted, self-reliant, funny, alarming, strange, difficult, intelligent, and beautifully crafted."--New York Times
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."
James Tate is the author of 14 collections of poetry, the most recent of which is Return to the City of White Donkeys, published in 2004. He has received numerous prizes, including fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundations, as well as the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize. His first collection of stories is Dreams of the Robot Dancing Bee. He is an associate professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
