Podcast appearances and mentions of James Tate

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions. This week on the show, Dan Wriggins of the Philly band Friendship. Earlier this year, the band released its fifth album, Caveman Wakes Up. Fans of the roots-informed indie rock of Wednesday and MJ Lenderman—frequent collaborators with Friendship—will find plenty of busted and bruised glory in these songs, which fall on the shaggy end of the alt-country spectrum. But for us, it's Wriggins' wry and sly lyrics that really seal the deal. Take “All Over the World,” in which a landscaper experiences “the beating heart of God/ laying down a roll of sod.” That down in the dirt realness is what makes Caveman Wakes Up so captivating, and what earned it a spot on the Aquarium Drunkard mid-year review list, where we noted:  “Friendship's second release for Merge Records is an unhurried, mostly quiet, slow burn of a record, sustained by Dan Wriggins' delivery and vocal tone and the band's splendid musical accompaniment that's hard to keep off the stereo…[it] contains many immediate classics — “Betty Ford, “Free Association,” “Hollow Skulls,” “Love Vape,” “Resident Evil” — that are filled with lyrical gems that leave you conflicted as to which should get tattooed on your body. Breakout album alert!”  This week on the show, Wriggins joins us for a gentle ramble focused mostly on poetry, specifically, one of our shared favorite poets, the great James Tate. When Dan's not putting out records with Friendship and under his own name, he writes poetry. His debut book of poems is called Prince of Grass, and was released in the summer of 2024. We get into it all, and more—this week on Transmissions. 

In this episode of The Poetry Space_, we explore the power of persona poems. We dive into Robert Browning's "My Last Duchess," William Blake's "The Chimney Sweeper," Nikky Finney's "Red Velvet," Margaret Atwood's "Pig Song," and James Tate's "The Motorcyclists." What happens when poets speak through masks, giving voice to dukes, children, pigs, and even storms? Join us as we unpack how persona reveals hidden truths, sparks empathy, and complicates the line between poet and speaker.At the Table:Katie DozierTimothy GreenJoe BarcaDick WestheimerBrian O'Sullivan 

"People don't care about policy—they want to know if you care about them." Detroit is Different is back in studio with District 1 Detroit City Councilmember James Tate, and we're getting deep. Tate returns to the mic not just as a policymaker but as a Black man opening up about what it truly means to protect your crown—mentally, spiritually, and politically. In one of the most personal Detroit is Different interviews ever, Tate unpacks his own mental health journey, revealing how heartbreak and betrayal spiraled into alcohol dependency, and how that pain sparked a long road toward healing. “I was a functioning alcoholic, self-medicating while trying to keep a public face,” he admits, sharing the raw truth of how anxiety manifests in his life and why he's no longer hiding from it. From behind the wheel of his car, sweating through moments of panic, to behind the podium of city council meetings, Tate discusses how mental health impacts leadership, legacy, and being a Black man in a society that expects stoic strength. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

Recorded November 26, 2024. Trinity Long Room Hub Visiting Research Fellow Professor Anthony Caleshu (University of Plymouth) in conversation with Professor Philip Coleman (School of English, TCD). Bio I wrote my PhD at National University of Ireland, Galway (on the American poet, James Tate), and began working at University of Plymouth in 2003. I became Professor of Poetry and Creative Writing in 2012.  My chief interest is Contemporary Poetry. I've written 5 books of poetry and 3 books about poetry. I also write short fiction, and have recently completed a screenplay. Past writing publications include a novella as well.    Critical interests include Creative Health. My current work is around the benefit of Community Assets (Arts & Cultural organisations) and Social Prescription to support those with common mental health symptoms. I was PI for the AHRC-funded 'Poets Respond to Covid-19' project (2020-2021). Our published project findings about the benefit of poetry to health and well-being during the pandemic were covered by over 200 media outlets around the world.  All of my writing is research led and often stems from my wider interest in the creative arts and philosophy. My fifth and most recent book of poetry, Xenia etc. (Shearsman, 2023) aims to re-invigorate the ekphrastic tradition, spring-boarding from contemporary visual art into an exploration of the contemporary condition (exploring sexuality and gender in the paintings of Julie Curtiss, landscape and the environment in the work of Shara Hughes and Emma Webster, and race in the work of Henry Taylor).  Learn more at www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub

Athenaeum Library starts their first poetry section thanks to the generous donation by Sir Vincent O'Sullivan's family. We discus poets, Jack Underwood, James Tate, Rachael Long. Broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin oar.org.nz

On this replay episode, I talk to the late Charles Simic about James Tate, Kansas surrealism, humor in poetry, and embracing the unconscious, plus I talk to Richard Blanco about the accidents that turn us into artists, the grind of editing, and the joys of finding new forms and challenges.

For James Tate, comedy and tragedy are inextricably linked within poetry. They appear as dual facets of ordinary life—the mundane and the extraordinary as one. As you'll hear in this recording from February 2003, this is laugh-out-loud poetry that wanders from the baseball field to the petting zoo and back home. And yet, after the laughter, you'll often find yourself catapulted into quiet, left to consider how this world breaks your heart again and again.

In this episode of "Words That Burn," I delve into the enthralling microcosm of James Tate's poem "Dear Reader."Our journey through "Dear Reader's" 13 lines reveals the intricate layers and emotional depth that Tate, a beloved poet of the surreal, weaves into his direct dialogue with the reader. His poem is sometimes playful in tone, other times pure tongue in cheek, but always draws the reader deeper and deeper into the lines.I will look at Tate's distinct blend of suspenseful and macabre imagery. His ability to juxtapose the difficulties and joys of the everyday is a highlight of this episode, demonstrating why Tate's work is so popular among poets and poetry enthusiasts alike.I dissect each segment of "Dear Reader" in this insightful episode, beginning with its enigmatic opening lines. We delve into Tate's poem's symbolism and thematic content, discussing its implications for the nature of poetry and its impact on both readers and writers. Which can be devastating and illuminating in equal measureLearn more about James Tate's distinct style and his impact on the poetry community.

How is poetry like skipping stones across the surface of a lake? How might a poem be like an undelivered letter or package? Matthew Zapruder joins the podcast to talk about James Tate's "Quabbin Reservoir," a poem that raises those and other questions—and does so with Tate's gorgeous ear for weird idiom, full of both humor and feeling. (For the backstory on the place this poem is—at least on its surface—about, see this story.)Matthew Zapruder is the author of five books of poems, including, most recently, Father's Day (Copper Canyon, 2019), and two books of prose: Why Poetry (Ecco, 2017) and Story of a Poem: A Memoir (Unnamed, 2023).

When she left a chaotic home at eighteen, author Sarah Fawn Montgomery chased restlessness, claiming places on the West Coast, Midwest, and East Coast, while determined never to settle. Now her family is ravaged by addiction, illness, and poverty; the country is increasingly divided; and the natural worlds in which she seeks solace are under siege by wildfire, tornadoes, and unrelenting storms. In her new book Halfway from Home, Montgomery turns to nostalgia as a way to grieve a rapidly-changing world, excavating the stories and scars we bury and unearthing literal and metaphorical childhood time capsules and treasures. Montgomery joined us virtually with James Tate Hill for a conversation exploring writing disability and ways to discover hope and healing amidst emotional and environmental collapse. (Recorded November 3, 2022.)

Reviewing Post Meridian (2000), critic Lisa Beskin of the Boston Review observed, “Like John Ashbery and James Tate, Mary Ruefle investigates the multiplicities and frailties of being with an associative inventiveness and a lightness of touch; the purposefulness of her enquiry never eclipses the remarkable beauty of her work.”Ruefle earned a BA from Bennington College.

Detroit City Councilman, James Tate, joins The Mitch Albom Show

by James Tate

Radio, Television, Broadcast, and Media were the life James Tate led before serving the city of Detroit as a council member. Entering a third term in the seat today Tate's understanding and perspective for what council is expected to do, what council does, and how that balance is anchored is key. In this interview (my first with a sitting Detroit city council member) we explore District 1 and its roots there. We also discuss the marijuana ordinances (city laws) Councilmember Tate has sat at the helm on since his start on the council. The vision Councilmember Tate sees for providing access for local Detroiters to make and shape the ways marijuana will change the city. Business and community and the ways businesses enter the community were insightful in this discussion. Check out the Detroit is Different feature with Councilmember James Tate.

A Little White Shadow (2006), her book of erasures—found texts in which all but a few words have been erased from the page—reveals what Publishers Weekly, in a starred review, called “haiku-like minifables, sideways aphorisms, and hauntingly perplexing koans.” Ruefle's erasures are available to view on her website; a full-color facsimile of her erasure Incarnation of Now was published in a limited edition by See Double Press.Ruefle's free-verse poetry is at once funny and dark, domestic and wild. Reviewing Post Meridian (2000), critic Lisa Beskin of the Boston Review observed, “Like John Ashbery and James Tate, Mary Ruefle investigates the multiplicities and frailties of being with an associative inventiveness and a lightness of touch; the purposefulness of her enquiry never eclipses the remarkable beauty of her work.”Ruefle earned a BA from Bennington College.

Wendy Xu curates poems that underscore the necessity of attention for the writing of poems, reminding us that to write is to think, to look, and to be present. She introduces James Tate on bending reality through attention to everything (“Rescue”), Mei-mei Berssenbrugge on the connection between the spiritual and the somatic (“Hello, the Roses”), and Joyelle McSweeney on being unafraid of excess (“Percussion Grenade”). Xu closes with her poem “Why Write,” which engages with the past as a living, risky force.You can find the full recordings of Tate, Berssenbrugge, and McSweeney reading for the Poetry Center on Voca:James Tate (1968)Mei-mei Berssenbrugge (2010)Joyelle McSweeney (2012)

On today's show: 00:43 Peter Szatmary from Lake Superior State University joins us to talk about their annual banished words list. Do you use some of these? I know I do: https://www.lssu.edu/traditions/banishedwords/ 11:00 Thanks to Fusion Marketing for sponsoring today's episode of Daily Detroit. https://tryfusionmarketing.com/ 11:30 Congressional district changes mean that lots of incumbents need to find new places to run, or will have to primary. Rashida Tlaib is going to run in a far less progressive 12th District that now includes Livonia and Westland; Shri Thanedar is looking at running in the 12th that's more moderate with the addition of the Grosse Pointes and lots of downriver; Plus, an Oakland County fight between two Democratic incumbents. And Brenda Lawrence just isn't gonna run in 2022. 13:20 A related issue is the question of state and other districts in Detroit and how they were drawn. A lawsuit has been filed by some Detroit elected officials and others that the new districts don't represent the city well. But some aren't buying that argument. Crossing political lines over 8 Mile is always going to be controversial in this region, and so is the trend of African Americans leaving the city to the suburbs, changing demographics everywhere. 16:12 COVID-19 cases are astronomical in Michigan. The city of Detroit is ramping up testing, and we share how to make an appointment. 17:04 A couple stories about Detroit City Council. There's a new president, Mary Sheffield; and pro tem, James Tate. Plus, some listeners have been finding some council agendas and supporting documents missing. Well, that's because the council changed vendors and at the end of the term the service was switched off in favor of a new one. We have details on the rollout, when, and if you're going to be able to access older docs online.

"I don't think taking the box of Halloween masks should be considered stealing. I didn't ask for them, but they were just sitting there behind the novelty store for anyone to pick up. Besides, mom didn't ask me to move to Texas, did she? Nobody ever asks me what I want." "A Guest for Dinner", written by James Tate and narrated by Joe Biedrzycki, was inspired by the keywords "Halloween", "common" and "missile".
