Praise for this book

"Simic's is a unique and necessary voice in American poetry, one that concisely articulates a profound aversion to simplistic answers and bland comforts."-Booklist "A master of the absurd and the unexpected, Simic ( Unending Blues ) presents a collection of prose poems that will not fail to amuse and delight."-Publishers Weekly "Simic's work, mingling Rimbaud and Socrates, startles us into meditation."-Library Journal
