this is worth watching

Simic is an American. He was born in the former Yugoslavia, but came to the US in 1954.

And the introduction was long enough to warrant the talent of the man being introduced. Simic deserved it.

Well thankyou chopin65, you have redifined my view of the beauty of poetry and the creative talent of poets. You CLEARLY know your stuff. You can also read minds it would appear. You also appear to lack that human flaw, the want for occasional recognition. What a person. Wait... what's that sound? Sounds like John Keats, Charles Bukowski, Raymond Carver and Patrick Kavanagh turning in their graves. Get (and I truly mean this with no irony or sarcasm) a life.

The evening was about Charles Simic, but the man responsible for welcoming Mr. Simic could not resist getting up and telling his own story. All poets crave approbation to the extent that they devote to their career in writing. The more unsung hours of toil, the more they crave comforting applause of even a classroom of students, of poets that come out of urgency. Poetry is from the point of a poet a matter of urgency. They need for a justification. Do grown men really do this for a living?

@killphil1986 It was not a short introduction.

@chopin65 In what way?

He lied about the introduction.

Jesus Christ, I came here looking to hear Simic, and get this pretentious tool droning on and on for a full 8 minutes.
