The World Doesn't End
from Harvest Books
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:

The World Doesn't End surprised me in many ways. It was unlike any other volume of his work I have yet read. I was so enthralled I read it cover to cover twice in the first week after I received it. I would have to say that this volume and Simic's "A Wedding in Hell" are two of my favorite volumes... more info

Customer Review:

Simic has a quirky style. If you like quirk you may like this. Some profanity.

Walking the Black Cat
from Harvest Books
Price: $11.90

Customer Review:

Charles Simic's "Walking The Black Cat" is hard evidence that the sarcastic, irreverent and consciousness bending spirit of surrealism is alive and well. Simic's tone is flippant and unmistakably poetic; he can take the most ordinary situation and make a slick, subtle metaphysical comment about it... more info

The Voice at 3:00 A.M.: Selected Late and New Poems
from Harvest Books
Price: $11.90

Customer Review:

This book is primarily a selection of poems from Simic's books from Unending Blues (1986) through Jackstraws (1999) with 19 additional new poems. As such, it is an excellent volume to introduce Simic but scarce on new poems for his avid fans.
Simic's poems are interesting to analyze - so few... more info

Isn't It Romantic: 100 Love Poems by Younger American Poets
from Wave Books
Price: $19.95

Customer Review:

There were few poems in here that I actually found romantic. With all the good reviews, I even went back and read it again in case I was just in a bad mood when I read it the first time. But, no, my first impressions was the same.
Lee Ann Brown's "After Sappho" was the best. That was because... more info
