Vasko Popa: Poems Av Vasko Popa

<b>An original collection of work by the great Serbian poet of the twentieth century.</b><br><br>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. <br><br>This English-only edition does not include the poems in their original language.
