In this new collection of sixty-two poems Charles Simic paints
exquisite and shattering word pictures that lend meaning to a
chaotic world populated by insects, bridal veils, pallbearers, TV
sets, parrots, and a finely detailed dragonfly. Suffused with hope
yet unafraid to mock his own credulity, Simic's searing metaphors
unite the solemn with the absurd. His raindrops listen to each
other fall and collect memories; his wildflowers are drunk with
kissing the red-hot breezes; and his God is a Mr. Know-it-all, a
wheeler-dealer, a wire-puller. In this latest lyrical gathering,
Simic continues to startle his fans with the powerful and
surprising images that are his trademark-slangy images of the
ethereal, fantastic visions of the everyday, foreign scenes of the
all-American-and moments full of humor and full of heartache.
