A review by casparb
The Monster Loves His Labyrinth by Charles Simic

oddly my first simic book as such , largely aphorisms with longer bits flung in ... it's a dangerous form , espceically for Guys of this type , it's very hard not to sound extraordinarily pompous . Simic gets off relatively lightly , having - to all appearances - the politics of a very Centrist dad . Ican't bring myself to dislike him for it even if we're sick
