Sixty Poems
Charles Simic
Ă propos de ce livre
From the Pulitzer Prize winning poet comes this "nearly perfect collection issued to celebrate his being named poet laureate of the United States" ( The New York Times ). Charles Simic has been widely celebrated for his slyly original poetic imagery; his social, political, and moral alertness; his uncanny ability to make the ordinary extraordinary; and, not least, his sardonic humor. Gathering much of his material from the seemingly mundane minutiae of American culture, Simic unpacks spiritual concerns and the weight of history with a nimble wit, shifting between moments of clear vision and intense poetic revelation. "It takes just one glimpse of Charles Simic's work to establish that he is a master, ruler of his own eccentric kingdom of jittery syntax and signature insight."â Los Angeles Times "Few poets have been as influentialâor as inimitable."â The New York Times Book Review
