Internationally acclaimed Slovenian poet Tomaz Salamun wrote Blackboards
in 1997, and two years later celebrated Slovenian artist Metka Krasovec
painted "Trak," a captivating series of images spanning one long scroll
of paper. Joined together, as poet John Yau writes in his introduction,
"Salamun's melancholia and Krasovec's sense of longing set in motion...
a dance of words and images, of words that evoke images we cannot
picture, and images that define a world that cannot be contained in
words."
