| Abstract | This volume of poetry from Charles Simic, one of America's most celebrated poets, demonstrates his signature style--a mix of understated brilliance, wry melancholy, and sardonic wit. These seventy poems range in subject from mortality to personal ads, from the simple wonders of nature to his childhood in war-torn Yugoslavia. |
