James Tate

James Tate is a professor at UMass who happens to be a poet with an incredibly humorous voice in writing. He reads so monotone--making the subject of his absurdities to the nth power of hilarity. Here is Tate reading one of his poems.

Last night I fell asleep to listening to poetry podcasts. I love this, and wish I could find more poetry on podcasts.
