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.
