Reviews
"Memory makes you hungry," writes Simic, whose poems are like folk tales told by a child with an impishly surrealistic streak. Memories of shadowy streets and rooms are haunted by an insomnia that suggests an enchanted dreamtime of watchfulness and revelation, where "everything is a magic ritual,/ a secret cinema." One of the most original poets writing today, Simic has a gift for startling juxtapositions: "Sleeplessness, you're like a pawnshop/Open late/ On a street of failing businesses." Homely images, in Simic's hands, take on an eerie combination of the marvelous and the absurd, "Father studied theology through the mail/ and this was exam time./Mother knitted. I sat quietly with a book/full of pictures. Night fell./ My hands grew cold touching the faces/ of dead kings and queens." There are few poets writing today whose sense of wonder is so palpable: "happiness, you are the bright red lining/of the dark winter coat/ grief wears inside out." Recommended for all collections. -Christine Stenstrom, Shea and Gould Law Lib., New York

Synopsis
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).

The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!

Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
