The Voice at 3:00 amBy John Walters on Monday, November 3, 2003.Charles Simic's latest book, The Voice at 3:00am, has just been nominated for a National Book award. As a former Macarthur Fellow and Pulitzer Prize winner, Simic is no stranger to prestigious awards- but his life began far from the literary limelight. He was a child in Yugoslavia during World War II. He lived through Nazi occupation, Allied bombing, and the postwar Communist government. He talks about his childhood, insomnia, and writing award-winning poetry in his second language. |
