Authors: Tomaž Šalamun and Joshua Beckman

Publisher: Wave Books (2021)

Tomaž is an extended poem assembled by Joshua Beckman from his recorded conversations with one of the foundational figures of the European avant-garde, Tomaž Šalamun. 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 Šalamun, assembling an autobiographic poem in a way that only a poet, translator, and friend could.
