Pulitzer Prize finalist Perillo has always written poems that managed to be hilarious even as they described her struggle with debilitating multiple sclerosis. Tate free-associates his way across the American consciousness deep into the human heart: The poem ends with Rory, a young Civil War enthusiast seething at the back of the classroom, imagining his gabbing teacher "camped beside the battlefield, / nervously waiting for her man, who would never return." You'll laugh out loud then wonder uneasily if Tate has been holding up a fun-house mirror - or if you've ever seen yourself so clearly.

He usually starts somewhere plausible but unlikely: "On Monday, Miss Francis told her sixth-grade / class that she was getting married soon" begins "Shiloh," a poem about a teacher who bends her students' ears about breakups and reconciliations with her husband-to-be rather than teach the Civil War.

In this, his fifth and most elegant and accessible book, he watches himself aging, his disease making off with his body, his energy and his hope - but not his humor: "You face your wrinkles, daily, in the mirror. Powell finds the seams in the language, the places where the old knits with the new. Powell's poems arose out of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s gay community in San Francisco (Powell himself is HIV-positive) and in recalling the parties and lives AIDS brought to an end, Powell created a whole new poetic instrument, a blend of hip, contemporary reference - to '80s bands, campy movies and gay porn - and a comprehensive knowledge of the Bible and classical mythology. Powell - closely - in a hundred years, because his poems tell a whole lot of the story of America's last four decades.
