James Tate, who passed away in July 2015, left the world with unpublished work, and we are lucky enough to share these poems with you. In these nineteen never-before-published poems, Tate's genius is apparent as he navigates a confusing world filled with peculiar people who act on unfathomable desires. Measuring a handsome 11.75" high by 7" wide, The Meteor is filled with poems that fall through the sky into your consciousness. After that, it's anybody's guess where they end up.

$20 plus $4 S&H in the U.S. Shipping costs added for overseas shipping.
