Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Charles Simic's, the first collection in The Braziller Series of Poetry edited by Richard Howard, Second Printing. 81pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, gently read/unread, in Very Good condition. "Charles Simic's poems reveal with an essential clarity the shape and properties of a world that we invent in secret, that marks our lives at their most intense, and that we too often deny because it is more real than anything else we know. There is a sense in his work that images precede objects, that the world is a creation of myth, that nothing is what we thought it to be, but somehow always suspected it might be. In Charles Simic's poems we experience those sudden swift recognitions of spirit which illumine."--Mark Strand. "I've watched for anything of his I could find in print since I first read his poems in Kayak. Those first poems of his that I saw were extraordinary, and recognizably his, and as I've seen more and more of him I'm convinced he's getting even better. It's the kind of poetry that seems to have travelled from a great distance to reach the page, and the poems themselves--I suppose when I say it I'm simply describing a quality of all genuine poetry--strike me as illuminations."--W. S. Merwin.
