<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>..".Mr. Tate's gift is such that many of [his] poems move me at least to plain envy of what he can do."-- W.S. Merwin"[James Tate] never ceases to astonish, dismay, delight, confuse, tickle, and generally improve the quality of our lives."-- John Ashbery"Tate's poems are meditative, introverted, self-reliant, funny, alarming, strange, difficult, intelligent, and beautifully crafted. He is an impressive writer whose process of imaginative growth is through that deliberate extinction of personality which T.S. Eliot called for as the indispensable means of turning a man or woman of powerful personality into a writer of powerful poems."-- "New York Times Book Review""Tate is a pure and unique American poet....His new book is as fresh and moving as his appreciators have come to expect. "Worshipful Company of Fletchers" is one of the best examples of sharp-as-a-tack contemporary American languageliveliness you're likely to find on bookshelves these days, and it has the added advantage of not being soulless."-- "Los Angeles Times Book Review"<br>
