I think the link to FoetLaureate should be included as an external link. It's not the most visually appealing site, to be sure, but I think it provides an interesting perspective. I do admit I'm the one who wrote the piece the site links to, but I did not encourage, nor do I have anything to do with the site. Thanks. Bluehole (talk) 21:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Csimic.jpg
Image:Csimic.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:32, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Is it possible to add a poem or stanza or couplet of poetry?
I think it would be great to have a bit of Simic's poetry in here. The only glimpse is one quoted line, and even then it's not clear that this is from a a poem.
Also, or failing that, the article could identify by title a couple of typical or well-known Simic poems.
I could do this if nobody else feels particularly motivated to do so. RUReady2Testify 18:48, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- A small snippet is okay, a full poem would not be. Corvus cornix 21:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Say what?
imagistic poems which, like those of William Blake, have their roots in observed objects that serve to extrapolate the universe - somebody want to translate that into something understandable? Corvus cornix 21:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- Not easy. I think this means that the object is extrapolated to the universe, i.e. that the object serves as a microcosm. That would imply depicting a structure for the object that maps nicely into a structure discerned in the universe... but I don't know if Simic actually does that a lot. Does he? Or is it more accurate to say that he uses objects to symbolize the universe (which is less specific)? Myron 10:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Question
How do we know his birth name is Dušan Simić? Robert Happelberg (talk) 00:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Pronunciation
The article should give a guide to pronouncing his name. Kdammers (talk) 10:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- The current Wik/en IPA for his name is slightly different from the current Wik/de IPA. Which is correct? Kdammers (talk) 20:25, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
- How about an audio in addition to the obscure IPA? 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:2989:7AE0:8178:E020 (talk) 14:55, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
stub for a US laureate?
Amazing that this is so short for someone so influential. Spanglej (talk) 01:33, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Charles Simic has died.
Sadly, Mr. Simic had died, in 2008 I believe. I do not have a source for this. I only know it because I am from the same town and my mom told me about his death. Not sure how to edit this myself. Liskow (talk) 14:53, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
- Well his ghost wrote a fantastic review in the New York Review of Books last week. More sources for his strapping health: Profile at the Poetry Foundation. , Profile Poetry Archive, Poets.org biography. At Wikipedia we rely on reliable sourcing for this reason. Maybe it was another Simic. Best wishes to your mum. Span (talk) 15:47, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
