	J.O. Tate reviews Samuel Francis' JAMES BURNHAM
		Francis focuses on the thought and not the man, on the books and columns—especially those printed in National Review—produced during Burnham's most interesting period as a writer, which extended from his break with Marxism in 1940 to the end of his career in 1978.
		This second edition of Samuel Francis's monograph on the political thought of James Burnham (1904-1987) is a fascinating exposition of a remarkable body of work.
		Michels' chastening story is not one that Francis has addressed—or Burnham either, as far as I know—but it is significant in the past century of political extremity and philosophical self-destruction.

	SLU: African American Review - Announcements -
		There is correspondence from many well-known writers and figures in the African-American community from the first half of the 20th century, including Langston Hughes, Countée Cullen, James Weldon Johnson, Carl Van Vechten, Harold Jackman, and Arna Bontemps.
		Venturing off beaten paths of scholarship, Claudia Tate turned a piercing gaze on unexpected writers and themes and persuasively employed a methodology rarely encountered in African-American literary criticism.
		We also welcome creative submissions that imagine Collins and/or other black women as professional writers, the social impact of The Curse of Caste, the social and personal circumstances under which Collins (and her peers) wrote, and Collins's contemporary audience(s).

	Red Gold . Innovators & Pioneers . Geoffrey Keynes PBS
		Keynes's subsequent biography of Harvey was awarded the James Tate Black Memorial Prize in 1966.
		As a writer, his "latitudinarian approach" to bibliography, said a LONDON TIMES reporter, produced "readable and elegant" results while it "introduced to a wide circle of cultivated readers a subject in which, as many had thought, imagination and narrative had little place." His most famous bibliographies are of John Donne, John Evelyn, and William Harvey.

		In 1856, there is a record of a James Tait, presumably the son of William Tate, living in Killeter, Mullagh, where he had a farm of 23 acres, and 1 acre of bog.
		If he is the James Tate born in 1801, then he was 55 when his only son, John was born.

	The Academy of American Poets - Journal
		Jorie Graham has been hailed by John Ashbery as “one of the finest poets writing today,” and by the poet James Tate as “a poet of staggering intelligence.” Tate adds that “Her poems are constantly on the attack.
		The poet often doesn’t get what the images in his or her poem have done because so often he or she is a better writer than reader of poetry.
		The Writer’s Workshop at Iowa is like any number of communities artists have gathered in for centuries—London, Paris, Barcelona, New York—to talk to each other, to formulate the goals of their hoped-for revolutions.

	Tony Crunk, Living in the Resurrection
		Winner of the prestigious 1994 Yale Series of Younger Poets award, Living in the Resurrection placed Tony Crunk among the company of such previous winners as Adrienne Rich, James Agee, Muriel Rukeyser, W.S. Merwin and James Tate.
		James Dickey, judge of the contest, notes in the foreword that "here is that rare phenomenon, a writer of instinctive formal vision." These twenty-eight poems move from narrative reminiscences of the poet's childhood and lyrical meditations on ordinary objects through to fractured, dream-like remnants and longer prose poems.
		The result, although varied in its individual parts, creates a whole that collectively illustrates one man's journey through life, a sort of homespun Cain walking the earth, even if that earth is only the dusty soil of the past.

	Growing up with Legends — www.greenwood.com
		Wright's autobiography is, finally, not about the evolution of a writer but about the anguish an American male had to endure confronting his homosexuality in the pre-AIDS decades of the 20th century.
		Wright moved to southern California in the 1950s to become a writer.
		There he became intimate with Christopher Isherwood and Edward James (the purported son of Edward VII of England), enabling him to move in circles that included Igor Stravinsky, Gerald Heard, and Aldous Huxley.

	Film about ‘Wonderland’ murders fails to perform By ADAM SANDEL SENTINEL CORRESPONDENT The fact that something happened ... October 24, 2003
		Yet something about the savage 1981 murders of four whacked-out drug addicts at their Hollywood apartment on Wonderland Avenue captured the imagination of writer-director James Cox ("Highway").
		Nash’s thugs eventually massacre the Wonderland gang and — the filmmakers want us to be impressed with this fact — it was the most brutal mass murder the LAPD had seen since the Charles Manson family’s Tate- LaBianca murders.
		The only reason that the sordid murders of these very sordid characters is at all notable is the involvement of porn legend John Holmes, who was past his movie career but deep into his career as cocaine addict and drug dealer when the film begins.

		Allen says he has all but given up on his ambitions to make a masterpiece, something that may be ranked against Kurosawa and his dead European idols.
