Thanks to the translation of his work he has also been widely acclaimed abroad. To date has had four collections of selected poetry published in English. A Ballad for Metka Krasovec, originally published in the early 1980s at the mid-point of Salamun¹s career, is considered by the author to be one of his finest. The volume is characterized by often striking imagery and a sexual tension that is pervasive. As this is the first complete single volume of Salamun¹s to appear in English translation, it offers readers a unique opportunity to glimpse the author at a particular stage in his life and creative development. The collection has an inner coherence often not found in his collections of selected poems. The poems range from the incantatory, to reflections on his lovers, family, and country, to narrative-style recollections of his stays in Mexico and the United States. 677979 2 4 2001 A Ballad for Metka Krasovec total:34|5:18|4:12|3:3|2:1| 34 149 48 4 3 0 false false Mon Apr 20 18:04:47 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 18:10:30 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 14:11:49 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 06:41:15 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Sep 06 12:13:17 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 06 12:13:17 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jun 20 09:04:28 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 20 09:05:42 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sun Nov 22 13:06:42 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 13:06:42 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 23 21:53:24 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 21:53:24 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jul 15 08:33:33 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 14:44:04 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 08:33:33 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jul 10 08:54:52 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 08:54:52 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jun 14 19:01:51 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 19:28:09 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 19:01:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 30 17:10:27 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 17:10:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 17 11:07:02 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 11:07:06 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Mar 16 13:07:17 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 13:07:17 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Apr 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Feb 14 08:46:59 -0800 2009 Sat Apr 04 10:48:09 -0700 2009 ]]> 4 0 false false Sat Feb 07 19:28:01 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 19:28:04 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jan 16 07:29:21 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 16 07:29:21 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Dec 06 14:19:13 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 06 14:19:13 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Fri Nov 28 13:57:26 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 13:57:34 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Oct 30 22:22:37 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 22:22:37 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 29 18:08:26 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 18:08:26 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Aug 31 21:04:53 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 31 21:05:17 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=691637
