20:2 Summer 1968

JAMES TATE

Images of Little Compton, Rhode Island

James Tate was a frequent contributor to Chicago Review during the late-1960s and 1970s; his collaboration with Charles Simic is also included in this retrospective issue. His poetry is often characterized by equal doses of dry wit and surrealism. “Images of Little Compton, Rhode Island” appeared in the Summer 1968 issue, shortly after his first book, The Lost Pilot, appeared in the Yale Series of Younger Poets for 1967.
