Charles Simic is widely recognized as one of America's leading poets. Selected Poems, 1963- 1983 was lauded as "easily the best volume of poetry published in 1985." In this newly expanded edition entitled Charles Simic: Selected Early Poems, to which the author has added twenty-seven poems and extensively revised others, we are treated to Simic's terse style, incisive imagery, and often disturbing rendering of everyday experiences--all coupled with a delightful sense of humor and more than a touch of mysticism.

Für das moderne Nachdenken über Geschichte ist es keine beunruhigende Vorstellung, daß die Anfänge der Geschichte "im Dunkeln" liegen. Geschichte ist für die moderne kritische Geschichtswissenschaft nur als zeitlicher Ausschnitt der Totalität vergangenen Geschehens faßbar. Bereits im 18. Jahrhundert war der Anfang der Geschichte kein "vorsintflutliches" Thema, sondern vielmehr ein Ort angespannten Nachdenkens, an dem sich theologische, philosophische, juristische, philologische und politische Fragestellungen und Interessen überkreuzten. Zur Verhandlung standen die Entstehung des Kosmos, der Ursprung des Menschen, die Ursprünge der Gesellschaft, Zivilisation und Kultur sowie der Wissenschaft und Philosophie. In dieser Ursprungsdebatte erlangten Politik, Geschichte, Kultur und Philosophie Selbständigkeit und fachliche Eigenständigkeit gegenüber der Theologie. Durch die Auseinandersetzung mit der "historia sacra" erhielten sie jeweils ihre moderne, noch heute überzeugende Gestalt in der Philosophie-, Welt- und Kulturgeschichte. An diesem speziellen Gesichtspunkt des Anfangsproblems verfolgt Helmut Zedelmaier die Entwicklungsgeschichte des modernen historischen Bewußtseins und verleiht der Historizität der Moderne ein schärferes Profil.

From the Pulitzer Prize—winning former poet laureate, a collection of elegiac, irreverent, lyrical new poems—an American master at the height of his talent, shining light out into the darkThe latest volume of poetry from Charles Simic hums with the liveliness of the writer’s pen—Scribbled in the Dark brings the poet’s signature sardonic sense of humor, piercing social insight, and haunting lyricism to diverse and richly imagined landscapes. Peopled by policemen, presidents, kids in Halloween masks, a fortune-teller, a fly on the wall of the poet’s kitchen; on crowded New York streets, on park benches, and under darkened skies: the pages within toy with the end of the world and its infinity. Charles Simic continues to be an imitable voice in modern American poetry, one of its finest chroniclers of the human condition.

Charles Simic has been widely celebrated for his brilliant poetic imagery; his social, political, and moral alertness; his uncanny ability to make the ordinary extraordinary; and not least, a sardonic humor all his own. Gathering much of his material from the seemingly mundane minutia of contemporary American culture, Simic matches meditations on spiritual concerns and the weight of history with a nimble wit, shifting effortlessly to moments of clear vision and intense poetic revelation. The poems in this collection--spanning two decades of his work--present a rich and varied survey of a remarkable lyrical journey.

Charles Simic's new collection of sixty-two poems continues to startle. Whether he is writing of wild flowers "Drunk with kissing/The red hot summer breezes"; or of God, that "Boss of all bosses of the universe/Mr. Know-it-all, wheeler-dealer, wire puller"; or of rain drops "Which take turns listening/To each other fall intermittently/As they go around collecting memories," Simic creates powerful, fresh images that are at once slangy and lyrical, irreverent and God-fearing, foreign and all-American, humorous and full of heartache.

Heresy and the Ideal is a powerful collection of essays and essay-reviews which David Baker wrote and published throughout the 1990s. He thoroughly discusses the work of more than fifty contemporary poets, including T. R. Hummer, Miller Williams, Albert Goldbarth, Jane Kenyon, Galway Kinnell, Charles Simic, Ted Kooser, David Wojahn, Alice Fulton, Louise Glück, and Charles Wright. He takes as his models some of the great critical books of the past three decades, especially Richard Howard's masterpiece, Alone with America, and Helen Vendler's Part of Nature, Part of Us, as well as other works by Laurence Lieberman, Majorie Perloff, Carol Muske, and Mary Kinzie. At its center, Heresy and the Ideal is based on Baker's sense of Romantic poetics, especially on how contemporary poets have applied, altered, or rejected certain Romantic principles. He uses the Romantic trope to measure the tension between passion and reason and between the problems of literary transcendence and the obligations of social engagement. The result is a welcome variety of enlightening, practical criticism devoid of exclusionary jargon and based on persistent attention to an individual poem or book of poems. Utilizing the essay-review, Baker considers each poet's purposes and achievements. He blends the strategies of explanation, analysis, and evaluation, clarifying each poet's work instead of complaining or condemning. Heresy and the Ideal addresses a wide and diverse range of contemporary poetry and should take a deserved place both as a critical introduction to the work of many important poets and as a work that documents and explores the shape of poetry at the end of the millennium.

Provides glimpses into the origins of Charles Simic's poetry

Since its inception in 1992, The Prose Poem: An International Journal, has published work which even the writers themselves cannot define without resorting to metaphor. Russell Edson likens prose poems to "cast-iron aeroplanes that can actually fly," while Charles Simic states that writing them is like "trying to catch a fly in a dark room. The fly probably isn't even there...you keep tripping over and bumping into things in hot pursuit." Nonetheless, Johnson knows a prose poem when he reads one. Better still, he recognizes a good one and has included many of them here. Poets include Edson, Simic, Robert Bly, Louis Jenkins, Kim Addonizio, David Ignatow, James Tate, and many others, both well-known and emerging.Peter Johnson lives in Rhode Island where he teaches at Providence College.

A Fly in the Soup is a book of memoirs. Charles Simic was born in 1938 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and spent his childhood in a city bombed by the Nazis in 1941 and then by the Allies in 1944. He was jailed with his mother after the war for trying to flee what was by then a communist country. He managed to emigrate in 1953, first to Paris and then a year later to the United States. He lived in New York, completed his high school education in Chicago and began writing in English and publishing his first poems in 1959 when he was twenty-one years old.The book collects pieces written on such diverse subjects as memory, history, the bombing of cities, cuisine, philosophy, life in the army, movies, and growing up in wartime. Arranged chronologically, they make an unusual memoir of exile and refugee life, a collage of stories, anecdotes, meditations and poetic fragments from one of the most barbaric periods of the last century. This is a story of a young man whose travel agents were Hitler and Stalin--the autobiography of the early years of one of the most respected contemporary American poets.Charles Simic has published more than sixty books in the United States and abroad for which he has received a number of prestigious literary awards including the Pulitzer Prize for poetry and the MacArthur Fellowship.

The task Charles Simic undertakes in this diverse, essentially unclassifiable book is one of illumination and tribute. Rather than constrict his response to Joseph Cornell's surreal art to the objective terms of critical analysis, Simic sets out to recreate in a different medium - the written language of the poet - the experience of viewing Cornell's enigmatic constructions of boxes, collages, and film. Partly an appreciation of Cornell's work, partly an appropriation of his method, Dime-Store Alchemy interweaves elements of art history, poetry, and biography in a series of short texts that create a kind of poetic equivalent to Cornell's visual art. The artist's premise that the world is beautiful, but not sayable becomes Simic's as well. From incisive meditations on Cornell's methods and aims, Simic moves to create his own assemblages in the spirit of Cornell and the poets he admired - Dickinson, Whitman, and Poe. The resulting prose poems are studded with the same unlikely combinations of found objects and dime-store jewels that inhabit Cornell's boxes. Simic's evocative images, like Cornell's, defy rational explanation but instead invite the viewer to participate in the imaginative life of the art, "to make up stories about what one sees." This highly personal consideration of one of the most important visual artists of the twentieth century conveys the same spirit of chance, the same playful celebration of the miraculous properties of the commonplace, that distinguishes the work of an artist who is, as Simic writes, "in the end unknowable."

Hamlet’s ghost wandering the halls of a Vegas motel, a street corner ventriloquist using passersby as dummies, and Jesus panhandling in a weed-infested Eden are just a few of the startling conceits Simic unleashes in this collection. “Few contemporary poets have been as influential-or inimitable-as Charles Simic” (New York Times Book Review).
