[ 4.0 stars ] "Charles Simic was born on May 9th 1938 in Belgrade, in what was then Yugoslavia, (now part of Serbia). As a child growing up in war torn Europe, he experienced the trauma of being one of the millions of displaced whilst both the "Germans and the Allies took turns to bomb him". This obviously shaped much of his world view, leading him to joke in interviews that "Stalin and Hitler were his travel ag ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "A wonderful book of poems by one of the preeminent American poets.This overview of Simic's work demonstrates his impressive range, from short poems with just a few words to a line, to longer, more prose-like poems.

[ 4.0 stars ] "Reading Charles Simic is like reading an original Grimm's fairy tale or admiring a Magritte painting. There's a facade of innocence, but peel away the layers and you'll find a certain darkness and even an ironic, twisted humor. It's that disquieting accessibility that draws me to him. This is a comprehensive collection that reaches back to his early days as an expatriate of Easte ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "Charles Simic has already had a long, productive poetic career and this New and Selected poems proves it along with the numerous awards and positions Simic has held throughout his career.

[ 5.0 stars ] "Simic is one of the most revered of modern poets. Why? Because of lines like this from Marina's Epic: The next thing we knew,/We were outside a pink motel in Arizona singing:/"We love you, life,/Even though you're always laughing at us." Or these from An Address with Exclamation Points: O Happiness, whose every miserly second/Is brimming with eternity!/You sat over a dish of vanilla cu ..." Courtesy by Amazon
