Night Picnic: Poems (Harcourt)
Pulitzer Prize-winner Charles Simic examines his work under the lens of political terror and the subsequent experience of immigration. As a result, his poems, usually regarded as metaphysical whimsy, acquire a more immediate, darker resonance.
Host
Bookworm Michael Silverblatt is the guy authors go to when they want a serious literary conversation about their writing, because Michael reads everything they’ve ever written, often surprising the authors with insights about their work that they themselves hadn’t realized.
