From the Pulitzer Prize–winning former poet laureate, a suite of elegiac, irreverent new poems—an American grasp on the top of his talent
The most recent quantity of poetry from Charles Simic hums with the liveliness of the writer’s pen. Scribbled within the Dark brings the poet’s signature sardonic humorousness, piercing social perception, and haunting lyricism to assorted and richly imagined landscapes. Peopled by means of policemen, presidents, little ones in Halloween mask, a fortune-teller, and a fly at the wall of the poet’s kitchen; set on crowded big apple streets, on park benches, and less than darkened skies; the pages inside toy with the top of the realm and its infinity. Simic remains to be an inimitable voice in smooth American poetry and one among its best chroniclers of the human condition.
