This newest collection of poems from Tomaand#382; Salamun is
exuberant, ambitious, and full of surprises. Here the devil is
encountered and understood- "I see the devil's head, people, I see
his whole body . . . ""he longs for innocence, as we do. ""Here the
poet juggles many tones, languages, and countries. Desire is evoked
as both frustrating and exhilarating-""I'm watered by longing,
knocking my""head into the wall, on the ground, or I burn, burn,
""folded up on the couch.""And memory comes back to remind us of
the laws and experiences of childhood-""Once again you are let
loose in the sea""only after five o'clock in the afternoon to
take""a dose of sunlight like the ticking of the clock." At once
daring and clear-voiced, The Book for My Brother is an
extraordinary achievement.
