The Blue Tower

The work of this â€œeminent, still-wild spirit of Central Europeâ€ (Publishers Weekly) continues to electrify. In The Blue Tower, language is remade with tenderness and abandon: â€œRommel was kissing heavenâ€™s dainty hands and yet / from his airplane above the Sahara my uncle / Rafko Perhauc still blew him to bits.â€ There is an effervescence and a sense of freedom to TomaÅ¾ Salamunâ€™s poetry that has made him an inspiration to successive generations of American poets, â€œa poetic bridge between old European roots and the American adventureâ€ (Associated Press). Trivial and monumental, beautiful and grotesque, healing, ferocious, mad: The Blue Tower is an essential volume.
