Great Regulars: Charles Simic writes endlessly

about insomnia and terror. But he always has that whimsical edge; his poems are more than capable of etching a huge smile on my face. The territory of his imagination is a dream-landscape; but the dream is one of eastern European villages in the Old World. The gallows hangs in the public square.

from Jay Parini: The Guardian: theblogbooks: A poet who deserves his laurels
