The powerful and deeply moving work of the Serbian poet Aleksandar Ristovc, published for the first time in the United states.Make me a long coat of heavy cloth, tailor,the kind that won't fray,and of a dark color,so no one will notice the cigarette ashes.Make the dark trousers of the same material,to last as long as I want them to,wearing them to visit many cities, villages,and other outoftheway places.* * * * *Make me a dark jacket, tailor, with wide, deep pocketsto clench my fists in, while watching the onethey're dragging from my table into the bushes,which begin to shake after a few moments.from 'Gingerbread Heart'Whether addressing pigs, speaking for prostitutes, or considering lavatories, the great Serbian poet Ristovic (193394) revealed a capacious yet unsentimental sympathy with the despised, downtrodden, and disregarded. Devil's Lunch, hitherto unpublished in America, is a quirky and moving selection of his work greatly enriched by Charles Simic's earthy and authentic translations. Simic, himself a Pulitzer Prizewinning contemporary poet, allows us to fully appreciate a major talent who always spoke with humor, honesty, and compassion.
