The metaphysician in the dark

In prose elegant and wise, Charles Simic roams among diverse topics, navigating adeptly the path from the sublime to the delicious. Wether discoursing on poet John Ashberry, Mark Strand, Joseph Brodsky or Billy Collins, comic Buster Keaton, or the viertues of sausage, Simic leaves us always graced with his generosity of spirit and the lingering flavors of discovery insight.
