Book Description:

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, one of the modern masters of American poetry, has been translating Popa's work for more than a quarter century. This revised and greatly expanded expanded edition of Simic's Popa is a revelation.
