"What a joy -- a large, wonderfully selected collection of Tomaz Salamun's poems -- one of Europe's great philosophical wonders. Finally seeing so much of the work in one sequence makes clear how brilliantly and stubbornly -- and uniquely -- he has explored the nature of the real, how many avenues of perception he has coursed down. Realism, surrealism, song, aphorism, lyric, anti-lyric -- everything from Apollinaire's physical wonders to Rilke's theological fears swirl through these beautiful, scary, and deeply original poems." -- Jorie Graham.
