I'm usually

somehow shy

about reading

my young

poems

because they don't

go with this

body anymore

it was '64

so probably I was twenty-three

or maybe twenty-two

I don't remember

no I started one in '63

so I was twenty-four

or twenty-three

• The author of more than forty poetry collections, with more than a dozen in English translation, Slovenian poet Tomaž Šalamun (July 4, 1941–December 27, 2014) is considered to be one of the most prominent poets of the Eastern European avant-garde. He published his first collection, Poker, in 1966 at the age of twenty-five. Early in his career, he edited the literary magazine Perspektive, for which he was briefly jailed on political charges. He later studied Art History at the University of Ljubljana before attending the University of Iowa and then becoming a Fulbright Fellow at Columbia University. After, he was invited to exhibit his work at the Museum of Modern Art in 1970, Šalamun lived for periods of time in the United States, working as the Slovenian Cultural Attaché in the 1990s and later teaching at a number of American universities, including the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Massachusetts, and the University of Alabama. Celebrated through many accolades, he was the recipient of the prestigious Jenko Prize and Slovenia’s Prešeren and Mladost Prizes. Šalamun passed away on December 27, 2014, in Ljubljana.

DYLAN'S BOOK ~

Bob Dylan Gets Tangled Up in Book Autograph Controversy Simon & Schuster sold 900 signed copies of the singer’s new essay collection, but superfans and internet sleuths noticed something wasn’t right with the autograph. Now the publisher is issuing ... www.nytimes.com

Somewhere in the middle of reading Dylan’s new book of music essays and rambles, you might stop and think to yourself: not only is this book seated and important, but this is the same guy who owned music, and pretty much the world, from 1964-1974 — in other words after he proved Blowin' in the Wind and The Times They are A-Changin’ and now it was Another Side of Bob Dylan-to-Blood on the Tracks. Nothing compared then, or now. In fact, most people haven’t a clue what to do with him. Or this book. Not even lousy Simon and Schuster knew how to present this book without a scam. Dylan’s entire lexicon, and this book, is about recognizing and understanding and living through and into the scam.

Does anyone think Bob Dylan is going to sit down and sign 900 copies of this book?

He has songs to write.
