Hamlet's ghost wandering the halls of a Vegas motel, a street corner ventriloquist using passersby as dummies, and Jesus panhandling in a weed-infested Eden are just a few of the startling conceits Simic unleashes in this collection. Few contemporary poets have been as influential-or inimitable-as Charles Simic (New York Times Book Review).
