Praise for Tomaž Salamun "All of [his work] has provocation and imaginative intensity and aesthetic risk." --Robert Hass "[Salamun] is, as a poet, supremely clever, and then he is also intelligent enough to dampen this cleverness in the name of poetry when he feels like it. His work is elegant and ironic and often surreal and lined with dark laughter . . . He remains a great postwar central European poet, which means that his work is a battle to give equal power to the cheeky voice and the soaring voice, avoiding always the obvious and the prosaically meaningful, making sure that nothing can make poetry happen, and that poetry in turn can become more important than history or politics or mere philosophy." --Colm Toibin, "The Guardian" (London) "The most celebrated Slovenian poet of his generation . . . his poems manifest a wry, deprecative humor, alternately acerbic and playful; a gift for remarkable images and detail, both surreal and quotidian; and an acute sensitivity to the astounding variety of the world and of history." --"Boston Review"
