Fiction Poetry
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, the sardonic humor all his own. Gathering much of
his material from the seemingly mundane minutiae 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. Chosen as one of the New York Library's 25 Books to Remember
for 2003, The Voice at 3:00 A. M. was also nominated for a
National Book Award. The recipient of many prizes, Simic
most recently received Canada's Griffin Prize. The poems in
this collection--spanning two decades of his work--present a
rich and varied survey of a remarkable lyrical journey.
