Vasko Popa: poems

• O stea, bazat pe 1 voturi

An original collection of work by the great Serbian poet of the twentieth century.

Vasko Popa is widely recognized as one of the great poets of the twentieth century, a riddling fabulist, whose work, taking its bearings from the songs and folklore of his native his Serbia and from surrealism, has a dark gnomic fatalistic humor and pathos that are like nothing else.

Charles Simic, a master of contemporary American poetry, has been translating Popa's work for more than a quarter century.

This revised and greatly expanded edition of Simic's Popa is a revelation.
