Charles Simic (1938–2023)
Auteur van The World Doesn't End
Over de Auteur
Charles Simic was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, immigrated with his family to Chicago in 1954, and was educated at New York University. Although his native language was Serbian, he began writing in English. Some of his work reflects the years he served in the U.S. Army (1961--63). He has been toon meer awarded a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, a Guggenheim Foundation grant, and a National Endowment for the Arts award. "My poetry always had surrealistic tendencies, which were discouraged a great deal in the '50's," the poet said, but such tendencies were applauded in the 1970s and his reputation consequently flourished. His poems are about obsessive fears and often depict a world that resembles the animism of primitive thought. His work has affinities with that of Mark Strand and has in its turn produced several imitators. Simic was appointed the fifteenth Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress in 2007 (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Comunque sia, Il mostro ama il suo labirinto è un taccuino, un insieme di pensieri sparsi del poeta. Si va dai suoi ricordi personali a pensieri fulminei (e poco lusinghieri) su politici e intellettuali. A Simic piace stravolgere il modo comune di vedere le cose (e qui ricorda un po' Il dizionario del diavolo di Ambrose Bierce) e spesso ci ricorda la bellezza della corporeità e della carnalità che la religione e il cosiddetto amore puro amano demonizzare e svilire in virtù della presunta superiorità dell'anima e degli alti sentimenti.
”Ti fanno male” mi dicono i miei amici. Come se fra me e l'immortalità si frapponessero soltanto un paio di salcicce.
Non dimentichiamoci che anche Romeo e Giulietta ogni tanto scoreggiavano e si grattavano il culo.
La bellezza di un attimo fuggente è eterna.… (meer)
