Forty-four poems by one of America’s most distinguished and original poets.\ Whether he draws for inspiration on American blues, Serbian folktales, or Greek myths, Simic’s words have a way of their own. Each exquisitely crafted poem is a tale of cheerful woe, of surreal disquiet, of dreamlike reality – set sometimes in an urban landscape, sometimes in the countryside; shown now in bright sunlight, now in sepia tones or in shadow. Each poem is a powerful mixture of concrete images. Each records the reality and myth of the world around us – and in us.
