A funny thing happened on the way to Wallace Stevens' later poetry

[TranquillityBase]

I recently ran across James Tate.  I found my first exposure of his poems to be a little too prosaic but then i got his book of "Selected Poems".  Neither here nor there, but it won him a pulitzer.  I'm finding his writing refreshingly simple, but so direct it makes me forget how hard it is to write like that.  He is considered a surrealist, but again, the direct feel of his writing makes it sublime.

I checked out a few of his poems over at Poetry Foundation.  I of course could not resist a title like Fuck the Astronauts.  Anyway, I enjoyed the four or five i read.  He makes sense to me.
