Messiahs and Mouse Turds
Charles Simic's wry surrealism is still steady as she goes. By David Penn Orphan Factory: Essays and Memoirs , by Charles Simic (University of Michigan Press, 1997). Paper, $13.95. Walking the Black Cat (poems), by Charles Simic (Harcourt Brace, 1996). Paper, $13. My first poems were published in the winter of 1959 issue of Chicago Review , but other publications came slowly after that; the mail brought me rejection slips every day. One, I remember, had a personal note from the editor that said: "Dear Mr. Simic, you're obviously an intelligent young man, so why do you waste your time writing so much about pigs and cockroaches? Charles Simic, in an essay called "New York Days, 1958-1964" UNLIKE MANY OF his contemporaries, Charles Simic, who went from the Chicago Review to a Pulitzer Prize in 1990 for his collection of poems The World Doesn't End , has continued to play to his strengths. "The folk surrealism, the mysticism, the eroticism, and the wild flights of romance and rhetoric," he's called it, referring to the French and German modernists who discovered in the rise of behavioral science new ways to mix the subconscious, the visionary, and the strange into the foundation of creative work. Simic was in Manhattan when this epiphany hit him, decades ago, listening to early bebop jazz in the back room of a nightclub. Having been run around in circles by his friends back in Chicago, accused of writing poems that were nothing more than "crazy images strung arbitrarily together," or worse, poems that "don't mean anything," Simic was amazed to hear so clearly stated in the melodies of American jazz something he'd been struggling to understand about how his poetry

    Charles Simic, a writer with a pen for human tragedy, named U.S. poet laureate
    By Motoko Rich Published: August 2, 2007 document.writeln(''); E-Mail Article Listen to Article Printer-Friendly 3-Column Format Translate Share Article Text Size Charles Simic, a writer who juxtaposes dark imagery with ironic humor, was to be named the 15th poet laureate of the United States by the Librarian of Congress on Thursday. Simic, 69, was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and immigrated to the country at 16. He started writing poetry in English only a few years after learning the language and has published more than 20 volumes of poetry, as well as essay collections, translations and a memoir. A retired professor of American literature and creative writing at the University of New Hampshire, he won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1990 and held a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant from 1984 to 1989. He succeeds Donald Hall, a fellow New Englander, who has been poet laureate for the past year.

50. Artful Dodge - Original Interviews - Charles Simic
Fans of charles simic have recently been treated to not one but two new volumes. Hotel Insomnia and Dimestore Alchemy The Art of Joseph Cornell (both 1992)
http://www.wooster.edu/ArtfulDodge/interviews/simic.htm
A Conversation With Charles Simic Fans of Charles Simic have recently been treated to not one but two new volumes. Hotel Insomnia and Dimestore Alchemy: The Art of Joseph Cornell (both 1992) clearly affirm Simic's reputation as street-wise visionary and learned prankster. Indeed, if these two latest books share anything with Simic's previous work, it's that their materials (the images, the people, the plots) have a quirky immediacy about them, a comfortable here-and-nowness; and that in this daylight clutter and ordinariness, he consistently finds subtle and wide-ranging resonance. Poetry is everywhere, Simic shows us once again; "the question," according to Thoreau, "is not what you look at, but what you see." That is to say, like his previous work, Hotel Insomnia and Dime-Store Alchemy are both profound and profoundly free of pretense. "The encounter between philosophy and poetry," Simic reminds us elsewhere, "is not a tragedy, but a sublime comedy." Such eccentric homilies are essential Simic. No wonder, then, that after three decades of poetry, he remains unclassifiable. Or as one critic intones, "Simic's poetry is not read with specific critical vocabularies in mind." How could any language system possibly capture the essence of a poet who, by his own measure, has been equally influenced by Emily Dickinson and Surrealism, Pablo Neruda and Fats Waller?

About William Bronk:
William Bronk was born on February 17, 1918 in Fort Edward, New York, and was descended from Jonas Bronck, for whom the Bronx is named. He entered Dartmouth College in 1934, where he studied under the critic and poet Sidney Cox and met Robert Frost. After graduation he studied at Harvard briefly and then left to write a study of Thoreau, Melville, and Whitman that was published 30 years later as "The Brother in Elysium: Ideas of Friendship and Society in the United States." After Army service in World War II, Bronk taught at Union College, then took charge of the family business, the William M. Bronk Coal and Lumber Company, in Hudson Falls, New York until his retirement in 1978. He lived most of his life in the spacious Victorian house where he had grown up. He did not drive and rarely traveled or gave readings. Instead, his house became a mecca for poets and artists. He suffered from emphysema and died of respiratory failure on February 22, 1999 at the age of 81. The New York Times obituary (2/25/99) calls Bronk "a poet of depth and haunting vision" and "one of the most prominent poets of his generation" known for "the philosophical depth of his work."

© 1997. Bienes Center for the Literary Arts Modern Rare Books, the third exhibition of the Bienes Center's inaugural year, showcases 37 items from the The Mata and Arthur Jaffe Collection of books as aesthetic objects. The collection was formed over a period of approximately 50 years, and like all collectors, the Jaffes have put an individual and unmistakable stamp on the contents of their revered assemblage of book objects. The exhibition chronicles their maturation as book collectors and, at the same time, provides the viewer a window through which to view the Jaffes extraordinary evolution as bibliophiles. THE JAFFE COLLECTION
Early in his artistic development, Mr. Jaffe was initially drawn to the power of expressionist woodcuts. He was attracted to them because they reminded him of the "stark, black graphic quality of the ancient Hebrew 'aleph bet', with its fiery tendrils reaching towards heaven." Next, he quickly discovered "block-books, with each page printed from a solid block of wood that contained the picture and the caption." From there, it was a short leap to collecting books. Mr. Jaffe sums up his love of books thusly: "I am seduced by the beauty of the handsome letters of the printed alphabet, for it allows man to communicate and to preserve thoughts, emotions, and discoveries. I glory in the well-designed page, I am in awe of creative, magnificent illustrations and, finally, I exalt at sharing with others the nobility of beautiful books that contain man's cultural heritage."
