In this volume, Simic fills the wee hours of his poetry with angels and pigs, riddles and cemeteries. His is a rich, haunted world of East European memory and american present-a world of his own creation, one always full of luminous surprise. “Simic writes so simply that his words fall like drops of water, but they ripple outward to evoke an ominous and numinous world” (Washington Post Book World).
This landmark collection from a U.S. Poet Laureate explores:
- Poems About Insomnia: Step into the Hotel Insomnia, a world of wee-hour meditations where crippled old men play piano and spiders in overcoats catch their prey.
- Philosophical Poetry: Simple language explores profound questions of existence, memory, and the secret lives of inanimate objects.
- Dreamlike Imagery: A landscape populated by angels and pigs, where cities are on fire and every shadow holds a luminous surprise.
- Eastern European Memory: The ghosts of an Old World haunt a gritty American present, from the battlefields of history to the sidewalks of New York.
