"The seventeenth book of verse from one of America's most acclaimed contemporary poets -- winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Capturing his inimitable voice -- provocative, amusing, understated, and riotous all at once -- this collection demonstrates James Tate at his finest. Innovative and fresh, they range in subject from a talking blob to a sobering reminiscence of a war and its aftereffects. Though they are diverse in scope, a theme of dialogue and communication -- and often miscommunication -- links these poems. Accessible yet subtly surrealist, filled with dark wit, dry humor, and a deceptive simplicity, Dome of the Hidden Pavilion confirms Tate's continuing relevance as one of the most celebrated poets of the modern age. James Tate was born in 1943 in Kansas City, Missouri. He taught the University of California at Berkeley, Columbia University, Emerson College, and for five decades, at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. He died in 2015"--Provided by publisher.
