Shroud of the Gnome
Nominee:Boston Book Review -Poetry (1998)
Speakers in James Tate's poems are and are not like those we know: a man's meditation on gardening renders him witless; another man traps theories and then lets them loose in a city park; a nun confides that 'it was her / cowboy pride that got her through; ' a gnome's friend inhabits a world where 'a great eschatological ferment is at work.'
