Nothing better than to move the reader deeplye

Along every avenue and around every corner of the city there is something to do. The Nelson-Atkins Museum is an art gallery in Kansas City (Missouri), well known for its neoclassical architecture and its Asian art collection. Among the masterpieces of his collection of European painting, you can admire works by Caravaggio, Eugène Delacroix and Vincent van Gogh. If you are looking for a souvenir of your visit (or something special for someone special), here you can find that perfect gift. In the city where the poet James Tate was born, all seven elephants in the Kansas City Zoo create pachyderm paintings. You could own one of these original works of art, starting at $ 25.

His poems have been described as absurdist, hopeful and surreal. JAMES TATE was born in 1943 in Kansas City (Missouri), becoming the author of over 20 poetry collections. In this city he lived with his mother and his grandparents, until his father, a pilot, had died in combat on April 11, 1944. In 1967, his first collection won the prestigious Yale Younger Poets competition. His provocative and disturbing poems have fascinated critics and fellow-poets. JAMES TATE is the enfant terrible of American poetry. Ambitious writers were eagerly exploring new avenues of expression, and his debut made an enormous impression, because Experimentalism was the sign of artistic authenticity. He said of his own poems that there is nothing better than to move the reader deeplye. Over the decades, he has honed his distinctive writing style, in which the tender phrase is subordinated by an absurdity.

THE BLUE BOOBY LIVES – The blue booby lives on the bare rocks of Galápagos and fears nothing. It is a simple life: they live on fish, and there are few predators. Also, the males do not make fools of themselves chasing after the young ladies. Rather, they gather the blue objects of the world and construct from them a nest, an occasional Gaulois package, a string of beads, a piece of cloth from a sailor’s suit. This replaces the need for dazzling plumage; in fact, in the past fifty million years the male has grown considerably duller, nor can he sing well. The female, though, asks little of him the blue satisfies her completely, has a magical effect on her. When she returns from her day of gossip and shopping, she sees he has found her a new shred of blue foil: for this she rewards him with her dark body, the stars turn slowly in the blue foil beside them, like the eyes of a mild savior.
