Poetry. Second Edition. POKER is Tomaz Salamun’s first book of poetry, originally published in 1966 in Slovenia. This edition, vibrantly translated by award-winning poet Joshua Beckman in collaboration with the author, makes POKER available in its entirety in English. Poker was a finalist for the PEN American prize for poetry in translation. ” …the poetry of Tomaz Salamun is truly one of the wonders of the literary world”—John Bradley (in Rain Taxi).”…the wonderfully mystical, synaesthetic, and visionary poems of this book make a strange yet immediate sense”—Noah Eli Gordon (in The Poetry Project Newsletter).
