*James Tate. The Lost Pilot. 1967. 72 pp.

Too bad, you might say, that Tate never wrote any better than in his first book, never improved but instead tended to get a little flatter and more predictable. I love this book though. I always have. It is the perfect example of that particular style, however you might want to define it. It still retains a certain charm.
