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.
In the Street
Beauty, dark goddess,
We met and parted
As though we parted not.
Like two stopped watches
In a dusty store window,
One golden morning of time.
