<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this, his fifteenth collection of poetry, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Tate continues doing what he does best. His poems are evocative, provocative, funny, subtle, eccentric, occasionally disturbing, and wildly outrageous. Tate′s surrealist style strikes its own utterly new and original note in American poetry; as Charles Simic has observed, "To write a poem out of nothng at all is Tate′s genius...Just about anything can happen next in this kind of poetry and that is its attraction...He makes me think that anti-poetry is the best friend poetry ever had."</p><p> Father′s Day</p><p> My daughter has lived overseas for a number</p><p> of years now. She married into royalty, and they</p><p> won′t let her communicate with any of her family or </p><p> friends. She lives on birdseed and a few sips</p><p> of water. She dreams of me constantly. Her husband, </p><p> the Prince, whips her when he catches her dreaming.</p><p> Fierce guard dogs won′t let her out of their sight.</p><p> I hired a detective, but he was killed trying to</p><p> rescue her. I have written hundreds of letters</p><p> to the State Department. They have written back </p><p> saying that they are aware of the situation. I</p><p> never saw her dance. I was always away at some</p><p> convention. I never saw her sing. I was always</p><p> working late. I called her My Princess, to make</p><p> up for my shortcomings, and she never forgave me.</p><p> Birdseed was her middle name.</p>
