The Blue Tower (Hardcover, New)

The work of this "eminent, still-wild spirit of Central Europe" ("Publishers Weekly") continues to electrify. In "The Blue Tower," language is remade with tenderness and abandon: "Rommel was kissing heaven's dainty hands and yet / from his airplane above the Sahara my uncle / Rafko Perhauc still blew him to bits." There is an effervescence and a sense of freedom to Tomaž Salamun's poetry that has made him an inspiration to successive generations of American poets, "a poetic bridge between old European roots and the American adventure" (Associated Press). Trivial and monumental, beautiful and grotesque, healing, ferocious, mad: "The Blue Tower" is an essential volume.
