Tate's signature style draws on a marvelous variety of voices and characters, all of which sound vaguely familiar, but are each fantastically unique, brilliant, and eccentric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet, as Charles Simic observed in the New York Review of Books, \"With all his reliance on chance, Tate has a serious purpose. He's searching for a new way to write a lyric poem.\" He continues, \"To write a poem out of nothing at all is Tate's genius. For him, the poem is something one did not know was there until it was written down. . . . Just about anything can happen next in this kind of poetry and that is its attraction. . . . Tate is not worried about leaving us a little dazed. . . . He succeeds in ways for which there are a few precedents. He makes me think that anti-poetry is the best friend poetry ever had.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Tate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.66w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060750022","brand":"Ecco Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713236013193,"sku":"9780060750022","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_30653240-3034-433b-aeb9-a64aaa047050.jpg?v=1719606580","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/return-to-the-city-of-white-donkeys-poems-9780060750022","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
