Woods and Chalices

Woods and Chalices

Inspired by Rimbaud and Ashbery, the Slovenian poet TomaÅ¾ Å alamun is now inspiring the younger generation of American poetsâ€”and Woods and Chalices will secure his place in the ranks of influential, experimental twenty-first-century writers. Å alamunâ€™s strengths are on display here: innocence and obscenity, closely allied; a great historical reach; and questions, commands, and statements of identity that challenge all norms and yet seem uncannily familiar and rightâ€” â€œIâ€™m molasses, donâ€™t forget that.â€

Coat of Arms
The wet sun stands on dark bricks.
Through the kingâ€™s mouth we see teeth.
He sews lips. The owl moves its head.
Sheâ€™s tired, drowsy and black.
She doesnâ€™t glow in gold like sheâ€™d have to.
