About

Speakers in James Tate's poems are and are not like those we know: a man's meditation on gardening renders him witless, another traps theories and then lets them loose in a city park, a gnome's friend inhabits a world where "a great eschatological ferment is at work." Shroud of the Gnome is a bravura performance in Tate's signature style: playful, wicked, deliriously sober, charming, and dazzling. Here, once again, one of America's most masterful poets celebrates the inexplicable in his own strange tongue.
