Limited to 25 numbered copies signed by both Charles Simic and Mare Blocker on the colophon. A fine copy of an exquisite fine press production.
A poem by Charles Simic from Return to a Place Lit by a Glass of Milk, individually hand watercolored, embellished, and bound by artist Mare Blocker.
Winner of the 1990 Pulitzer Prize in poetry and U.S. Poet Laureate for 2007-08, Charles Simic (1938-2023) wrote moving, surrealistic poetry often based on his own experiences, particularly his traumatic childhood in what was then Yugoslavia.
