Down at headquarters there's a secretary and a janitor who I shall call Suzie and boy can she ever shoot straight. She'll shoot you straight in the eye if you ask her to. I mow the grass every other Saturday and that's the day she polishes the trivets whether they need it or not, I don't know if there is a name for this kind of behavior, hers or mine, but somebody once said something or another. That's why I joined up in the first place, so somebody could teach me a few useful phrases, such as, "Good afternoon, my dear anal-retentive Doctor," and "My, that is a lovely dictionary you have on, Mrs. Smith."

82. J.O. Tate Reviews Samuel Francis' JAMES BURNHAM REVIEWS. The Lion and the Fox by JO tate. james Burnham by Samuel Francis London Claridge Press; 164 pp., $14.95. This second edition http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/Chronicles/August2001/0801Tate.htm

REVIEWS The Lion and the Fox by J.O. Tate James Burnham by Samuel Francis London: Claridge Press; 164 pp., $14.95 This second edition of Samuel Francis's monograph on the political thought of James Burnham (1904-1987) is a fascinating exposition of a remarkable body of work. National Review Francis's work on Burnham has three major levels of appeal, each in itself of compelling interest. The first of these is the ostensible one. The Managerial Revolution and The Machiavellians Burnham did not write in the traditional language of Anglo-American political theory and reference. He was not a Burkean like Russell Kirk, nor a Straussian, nor a Catholic (until his conversion late in life), nor an exhausted liberal, nor a libertarian, nor a capitalist, nor a neoconservative. In fact, as an academic of aesthetic and philosophical sophistication (and a former Trotskyite), Burnham had, by 1940, been around the block in ways that are hard for the ordinary conservative to credit. He so impressed George Orwell that 1984 must be read as a response to Burnham, as well as to the 20th century. The book's second claim to our attention lies in Francis's account of the Italian tradition of historical and social analysis, which is as striking today, perhaps, as when Burnham described that tradition himself.

text mode i n t e r v i e w w i t h j a m e s t a t e M I K E M A G E E I MAKE A CALL TO MY OLD STOMPING grounds in Western Massachusetts, my old area code, where James Tate lives. Among poets who have been "mainstreamed" Tate is something of an anomaly: the Pulitzer Prize winning poet with the non-Pulitzer Prize winning style. He is 55. At 23 his first book, The Lost Pilot , was selected for the Yale Younger Poet's series. After winning the Pulitzer for Selected Poems , he received the National book Award for Worshipful Company of Fletchers . To say that his absurdist, paratactic poems are out of place in the conservative world of big press, big prize poetry is something of an understatement. A poem about the Pope can begin, "Any poodle under ten inches high is a toy." Another poem is entitled, "Little Poem with Argyle Socks," and in his new book, just out from The Ecco Press, one begins, "My felisberto is handsomer than your mergotroid." Tate seems willing to take his poems anywhere they want to go. MM: I'm curious to ask you about Kansas City.I know that you mention Charlie Christian in "Happy as the Day is Long," and I know that he was part of the Oklahoma City to Kansas City circuit in the Count Basie era, and then played with Charlie Parker; and I was wondering if that was a tradition that influenced you as a poet or that you've been interested in over the years.

Fall 2002 Dreams of a Robot Dancing Bee James Tate Verse Press ($23) by Melissa Maerz eep: The word worries the electrical engineer. Lately, whenever he greets his coworker Skip, the latter man greets him with the onomatopoeic outburst. Never how are you? or good morning or even just a nice little hello . It's beep -or sometimes zow , or when things are really bad, mutti-mutti-mutti-mutt-mutt . The two men will be sitting together, drinking beers, relaxing, playing croquet, or talking about Skip's kids, when a Tourretic yawp spontaneously erupts from his lips. These moments make the engineer think too much. Are the children beepers, too? Do miniscule insect-angels prattle about in Skip's head? And if so, why can't the engineer hear them? Such thoughts trouble him. "These are dangerous times," he thinks. And then, as if this is not a satisfactory explanation, he himself lets out a honk Honk : The word exhilarates James Tate, author of the short story "Beep." For Tate, honk is the reveille of our times, a signifier of modern life's complete disconnect. In his collection Dreams of a Robot Dancing Bee To a certain degree, Tate, too, has broken down the hermeneutic apparatus he's established for himself. Best known for his numerous books of surreal poetry-including

25-Year Archives 25th Anniversary Main Index Talking Poetry With James Tate By Stanley Wiater originally published on Jan. 4, 1984 Land of Little Sticks, 1945 by James Tate Where the wife is scouring the frying pan and the husband is leaning up against the barn. Where the boychild is pumping water into a bucket and the girl is chasing a spotted dog. And the sky churns on the horizon. A town by the name of Pleasantville has disappeared. And now the horses begin to shift and whinny, and the chickens roost, keep looking this way and that. At this moment something is not quite right. The boy trundles through the kitchen, spilling water. His mother removes several pies from the oven, shouts at him. The girlchild sits down by the fence to stare at the horses. And the man is just as he was, eyes closed, forehead against his forearm, leaning up against the barn. "It's an art form, but it has many technical aspects. Even if one isn't writing in fixed-forms, one strives for the highest degree of compression, charged language; every single word must be considered from every possible angle, their derivations, how it reacts to the word next to it. Then there's the consideration of the overall pacing and the movement in the poem, and the delivery and emphasis which must take place. So the overall shape of the poem, as well as each and every individual word and line, is important. There is a shapeliness and timing and placing of emphasis that is not something that very many people can excel at without a great deal of experience, and a great deal of reading and awareness of tradition, and what's gone before."

He said he's positive I'm gonna go to University of Massachussetts. When I asked why, I think he said something about how he can see me working with James Tate. This got me thinking. James Tate is one of my favorite poets ever. ever. ever. I'm not sure why, though. After Adam said that to me, I took down the good old "Selected Poems" of Tate and flipped through. It's fun to see all the markings I made a long time ago. It's crazy the stuff I used to like and the stuff I like now in each of the poems. OK....anyway...I'm not making any sense. Furthermore - James Tate. Here's why I like him. He's funny and fearless...meaning, he makes me laugh...he's creative...and he makes me think. He also makes it all look so easy. But he has such a fine-tuned craft to his poems. There are so many intricate things going on in each one. On the surface, his poems look like nonsense...and they still look like nonsense after one or two reads...but the deeper you get into them, the more profound they get. I love poems that have hidden corners and secrets...where I can discover something new every time I read them...that makes a good poet to me.
