In Brief
This is a collection of poems by the author of The Lost Pilot, Constant Defender, and Reckoner.

From The Publisher
Masterfully drawing on a variety of voices and characters, James Tate joyfully offers his first book since winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for his "Selected Poems." The book covers a vast range of images; a child's shoe in the road, a word on the kitchen counter 'next to the pitcher of cream/with its blue cornflowers bent,' a retired eland that 'watches television from early morning until late at night.' But each image can exist only in the context of its poem, where it becomes something greater, where it underlines all that is elusive about human experience....Tate's language moves out in concentric circles from precise details of dialogue and landscape to these deeper regions of suffering and unspeakable beauty—always with gentle humor and compassion. "Worshipful Company of Fletchers" brings us once again to the presence of a great artist who is able to transform his 'own backyard' into a place all of us recognize.

Annotation
"These new poems . . . deliver the typical Tate-esque trope de grace to all sanctimonious poses and stodgy cogitation, all verdigris-encrusted mental statuary."--Carolyne Wright, Harvard Review. Winner of the 1994 National Book Award.
