1974/1977. Introduced by Theodore Wilentz (1974) and Michael Benedikt (1977). As Michael Benedikt says in his introduction, "Simic's diction is tight, compact, and quiet... The poems have a lot to say to any ear which can hear their extraordinary, visionary magic." Simic, who won the 1990 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, is an entertaining reader, and these recordings display this well. The selections, comprised primarily of poems from his first three books, demonstrate a wonderful range, from the comical to the incisive. Length: 56 min. |
