Title: Selected early poems
Description: "For this new edition of his selected poems, Simic has added twenty eight poems and extensively revised others, making this the most complete collection available of his early work."--BOOK JACKET.

"In the spare, haunting vision of these poems, the familiar takes on a disturbing, often sinister, presence. Life's horrors - violence, hunger, poverty, illness, loneliness - lurk unnervingly in the back ground. And yet, despite the horror, a sense of wonder pervades these poems, transforming the ordinary world into a mysterious place of unknowable forces."--BOOK JACKET.
