Details

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning former poet laureate, a collection of elegiac, irreverent new poems--an American master at the height of his talent The latest volume of poetry from Charles Simic hums with the liveliness of the writer''s pen. Scribbled in the Dark brings the poet''s signature sardonic sense of humor, piercing social insight, and haunting lyricism to diverse and richly imagined landscapes. Peopled by policemen, presidents, kids in Halloween masks, a fortune-teller, a fly on the wall of the poet''s kitchen; set on crowded New York streets, on park benches, and under darkened skies; the pages within toy with the end of the world and its infinity. Simic continues to be an imitable voice in modern American poetry and one of its finest chroniclers of the human condition.

8220;Image by image, Simic composes miniature masterpieces, offering what appears as a seemingly effortless study in language’s cinematic possibilities.”
