And, as always, humor is Simic's saving grace, his ticket to the wonderland of poetic imagination: Widow Dragonfly Doing leg splits could use a pair of Eentsy-weentsy prescription shades Before she comes to a dreadful end. On the other end of the spectrum, Simic waves his magic wand to give corporeality to the larger, abstract concepts of "The famous no-shows, Truth, Justice, and so forth." In another life, Simic was a cartoonist; his characters live in the flat, one-dimensional frame of buffoonery. One can almost hear the empty thought bubbles bursting above their heads. In "To the One Upstairs," Simic satirizes the Almighty: Boss of all bosses of the universe.

Return to Interview Archive Index CHARLES SIMIC The Art of Poetry No. 90 Interviewed by Mark Ford Issue 173, Spring 2005 View a manuscript page Download a PDF of the full interview INTERVIEWER You tend not to write directly about particular historical crises or catastrophes, but surely the war in the Balkans underlies the bleak historical perspectives of poems such as “Reading History” or “Empires,” both from the early nineties? SIMIC I’m sure it was in the background. “Reading History” was written after going on a binge and reading a pile of books on Chinese and Indian history. Every few pages, of course, there was some atrocity, some massacre, or some battle in which thousands died, so that got me thinking. “Empires” is a poem about my grandmother on my mother’s side, who died in 1948, when I was ten. She took care of me from when I was very little while my parents were at work. She used to listen to Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and other lunatics on the radio. I understood nothing, but she knew several languages. She got very upset. She could not get over the lies she heard. What’s wrong with the world? she’d ask everyone. Good question. I still haven’t figured it out myself. There have been so many wars in my lifetime, so much killing. I’m as uncomprehending as she was. The ease and arrogance with which so many are sent to their deaths continues to astonish me. The use of murder to improve the world, for instance, is popular in American intellectual circles as if there had never been any historical precedents. I think about these things all the time.
