High Crimes by John Westermann
This newest collection of poems from Tomaz Salamun is exuberant, ambitious and full of surprises. Here the devil is encountered and understood I see the devil s head, people, I see his whole body he longs for innocence, as we do; here the poet juggles many tones, languages and countries; desire is evoked as both frustrating and exhilarating I m watered by longing, knocking my/ head into the wall, on the ground, or I burn, burn, / folded up on the couch; and memory comes back to remind us of all the laws and experiences of childhood: Once again you are let loose in the sea/ only after five o clock in the afternoon to take/ a dose of sunlight like the ticking of the clock. At once daring and clear-voiced, The Book for My Brother is an extraordinary achievement.Bio: Tomaz Salamun has published more than thirty books of poetry. His work has been translated into almost every European language. He lives in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Praise:
One of the indispensable poets of the era.A poet whom one feels has a heart so open and an ear so pure, he might have answers in even the darkest times. --Jorie Graham
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
