World Doesn't End

<p><strong>Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry </strong></p><p><strong>One of the truly imaginative writers of our time. --<em>Los Angles Times Book Review</em></strong></p><p>You never know what Charles Simic is up to until you reach the end of the line or the bottom of the paragraph. Waiting for you might be a kiss. Or a bludgeon. A smile at the absurdities of society or a wistful grim memory of World War II.</p><p>He puns pulls pranks. He can be jazzy and streetwise. Or cloak himself in antiquity.</p><p>Charles Simic has new eyes and in these wonderful poems and poems-in-prose he lets us see through them. </p>
