New and Selected Poems
1962–2012“It takes just one glimpse of Charles Simic’s work to establish that he is a master, ruler of his own eccentric kingdom of jittery syntax and signature insight.” — Los Angeles Times "New and Selected offers readers the chance to experience and reassess one of the more unique voices in contemporary literature. . . Wandering the tangled byways of Simic’s imagination, we discover in our own workaday streets a phantasmagoria of the ordinary. . . Playful, sly and thrilling." — Washington Post

Little Mr. Prose Poem: Selected Poems of Russell Edson
“Anyone who was fortunate to hear Edson read his poems is not likely to have forgotten the experience. He made his audiences roar with laughter or sit astonished at what they were hearing…the real surprise comes when we realize that despite all the joking we are reading or listening to, these are not the scribblings of a village idiot, but of a comic genius and a serious thinker.”— Charles Simic, from The Foreword “Edson’s poems are deranged, oracular, logical, ecstatic, pellucid, desperate, filthy, fathomless, and deceptively simple. When I gave a reading with Edson in 2003 I said, ‘Tonight I am reading with one of my greatest heroes.’ He’s still here with me, always, like a god.”— Sarah Manguso, author of 300 Arguments “Edson permitted himself to have it both ways, to write prose that reverses — each of his sentences simultaneously urges the reader forward into the action of Edson’s stories in miniature and also pulls the reader backward. Musical language, artfully loaded words, subtle twists in the plot, and all sorts of meaningful misdirections in Edson’s work demand that we reread, that we never quite finish reading any of these poems, which are ever in the midst of revising themselves.”— Craig Morgan Teicher, from The Afterword

The Life of Images
“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.
