"Requests from schoolteachers asking you to give advice to students on how to read literature," Simic says, "or from a business association in Topeka asking you to read a poem at the opening of a convention. My cell phone would ring, and a high government official would ask me to fix a poem written by her late father to read at his memorial service. Sometimes I wanted to go just to see who these people...
