Dome of the Hidden Pavilion

<p>The seventeenth book of verse from one of America's finest and most acclaimed contemporary poets--winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award.</p><p>Capturing his inimitable voice--provocative amusing understated and riotous all at once--the poems in <em>Dome of the Hidden Pavilion</em> demonstrate 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.</p><p>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 <em>Dome of the Hidden Pavilion</em> confirms Tate's continuing relevance as one of the most celebrated American poets of the modern age.</p>
