I first met Charles Simic in 1994 at dinner to celebrate the Harvard Review's special issue dedicated to Simic.I had written an essay for the issue titled "He Who Remembers His Shoes" that focused on several of his poems and so was invited to this dinner and seated next to him.While we were eating, a small black ant started crawling across the white table cloth.
