Description Supposing Books Hotel Insomnia

In this volume, Simic fills the wee hours of his poetry with angels and pigs, riddles and cemeteries. His is a rich, haunted world of East European memory and american present-a world of his own creation, one always full of luminous surprise. “Simic writes so simply that his words fall like drops of water, but they ripple outward to evoke an ominous and numinous world” (Washington Post Book World).

More of the "To Read" List clean up: I spent a month of more with this Simic collection in 2009, and it's impressions are still strong, despite the loss of details. This was my first Simic, and it sent me quickly to others. This collection especially dwells in the penumbra of half-light just outside the street light's glow, full of almost-truths and near-certainties.

Hotel Insomnia - Charles SimicIt was a hit and miss collection of poems for me. Simic's style seems both stripped down and bombastic. Several of his poems would generally start with simple precise language and then suddenly make these big sweeping words choices at the end. The language equivalents of going "BA BA BHAAAA!!!"

The black Queen raised highIn my father's angry hand. *****Trees like evangelistsOn their rostrums,Arms raised in blessing over the evening fields. ****You give the appearance of listeningTo my thoughts, O trees,Bent over the road I am walkingOn a late summer eveningWhen every one of you is a steep staircaseThe night is slowly descending. ****sleeplessness is like metaphysics.مذهل !

I believe Simic is one of the most talented poets of our day. Haunting and timely. Keeps the reader present and mindful, yet aside and looking in. Greta work.

Hotel Insomnia is a collection of poems by the Pulitzer Prize winning poet Charles Simic.Since this was my first time reading the works of Simic, I did not know what to expect. However, I definitely had a good feeling about this book because of its mysterious and catchy title.Upon setting my eyes on the first stanza of the first poem, I knew that this book would be a keeper. Simic's unique prose and use of dark yet alluring imagery easily drew me into the stanzas and lines, drinking in the words
