The State of the Art with Charles Simic
'For me a poem is a place where one invites someone in. You build a little house, fix it up real nice. Inside you’ve got a painting on the wall, a new couch, some knick-knacks and souvenirs, a swell meal all laid out on the table, and you open the door and hope somebody comes in…' Charles Simic, Poetry Review.
To mark the celebration of its centenary in 2009, The Poetry Society invites Charles Simic to give The Poetry Society’s Annual Lecture.
Drawing on his experience as Poet Laureate of the United States, Charles will deliver a playful and provocative lecture about the shifts in today’s poetic landscape from Belgrade to Boston.
This event will be hosted by Anne-Marie Fyfe, Chair of the Poetry Society.
