The Lost Pilot
by James Tate
$5.75
Economical and lean, the engaging images of James Tate's poetry combine a
natural grace in expression with dark and disturbing reaches. "James Tate sounds
to me like no one I have ever read- utterly confident, with an effortless
elegance of control ... that would be rare in a poet of any age and that is par–
