Title
The Life of Images: Selected Prose - Paperback
by Charles Simic (Author)
"Decades after immigrating to the States in 1954, Simic retains an outsider's perspective: inquisitive, incredulous, amazed by the apparently ordinary--all excellent qualities for an essayist. There's ample warmth and charm here." --New York Times Book Review
A collection of new and selected essays by the Pulitzer Prize-winner and former Poet Laureate.
In addition to being one of America's most famous and commended poets, Charles Simic is a prolific and talented essayist. The Life of Images brings together his best prose written over twenty-five years.
A blend of the thoughtful, comic, and tragic, the essays in The Life of Images explore subjects ranging from poetry to philosophy, photography, politics, and art, to Simic's childhood in a war-torn country. Culled from five collections, these works demonstrate the qualities that make Simic's poetry so original yet accessible. Whether he is pondering the relationship between history and the individual, or recalling growing up in Belgrade and New York City, Simic shares his distinctive take on the world and offers an intimate look into the life and mind of an immigrant.
