Tomaz

Description

Tomaz is an extended poem assembled from assembled by Joshua Beckman from his recorded conversations with one of the foundational figures of the European avant-garde, Tomaz Salamun. This book includes photographs and translated original poems throughout, some of which are presented for the first time in English, and it covers the first forty years of his life in his own words. With careful articulation and generosity of attention, Joshua Beckman becomes a conduit for the language of Salamun, assembling an autobiographic poem in a way that only a poet, translator, and friend could.
