James Tate
JAMES TATE (1943-2015) ialah seorang penyair Amerika. Beliau ialah penerima Pulitzer Prize selain National Book Award.
Semasa di kolej, beliau membaca Wallace Stevens dan William Carlos Williams sebelum menunjukkan minat terhadap surrealism dengan membaca Max Jacob, Robert Desnos, Benjamin Péret, César Vallejo dll.
Puisi-puisinya dikatakan sebagai komikal dan absurd, selain surreal. Ia sentiasa digerakkan oleh watak-watak aneh yang ditemui narator.
