Short Films - Tate Fountain

Tate Fountain’s Short Films is a lush bouquet of poems. This stunning debut reads at times like a film script, a letter to a lover, or a series of richly pigmented vignettes. Desire blooms alongside a tender love of film, art, and literature. In this playful, punny book, Fountain experiments with form and feeling, with poems that are smart, evocative and full of heart.

“These are poems I want to read in summer, near water, with ripe fruit and birds singing. I want to have them read to me as I fall asleep. In this difficult world, love poems bring us back to ourselves and to each other. This collection is full of poems to remind us why connection is at once so fraught and so wonderful.” - Emma Barnes

“I’ve been punched in the gut by Tate Fountain’s mastery of language, but to quote Wet Leg, I kinda like it cause it feels like being in love. Respectfully, you’d be a fool not to read this book. You’ll be thinking of these poems later, and later, and later.” - Leah Dodd
