Pulitzer Prizewinner Charles Simic introduces and translates the poems of Serbian feminist, activist, and writer Radmila LazicDeadborn will be your wishes.Your every hope will be a widow.And as for love, there won't be enoughTo spread on a slice of bread.from 'Twilight Metaphysics'Translated and introduced with the surrealist wit that is Charles Simic's signature, A Wake for the Living offers American readers, for the first time in English, the brilliance of Serbian poet Radmila Lazic. Through her compelling and strange leaps and dodges, Lazic describes an identitypersonal and politicalinformed by catastrophe and victimization that restlessly and imaginatively swerves into irreverence and oftencomic absurdity. 'Goodness is boring,' she writes, 'It seems it's hell I'm getting myself ready for.' These poems careen from the poet's lament for beauty faded to her 'Dorothy Parker Blues' to her searching for names among obituaries to her sexual desires without obligation, with the virtuosity that has made her one of Eastern Europe's best and most vivacious contemporary poets.
