One of the great postwar Central European poets, Slovenian Tomaz Salamun has published over thirty books. Publisher's Weekly praises his "postmodern mix of giddy and global [and] the earthy retrospect he takes from his homeland. Salamun has taught at universities around the world. His There's the Hand and There's the Arid Chair, translated by Thomas Kane, is forthcoming from Counterpath Press in 2009.

He is truly a gift to us. Thank you for posting this. "Jonah" is my favorite poem ever.

Mr. Salamun came to CSU in November as well, it's nice to be able to see a past reading of his online =)
