"A friend and
fellow writer, speaking in reference to contemporary poetry, remarked
to me not long ago that the true poets are not those in search of
something to write about, but those whose subjects have discovered
them. I find this confirmed in reading the poems of Tomasz Jastrun." -John
Haines
"Here at last we
have a generous selection of Tomasz Jastrun's poems and prose chronicling
the disintegration of Poland, and celebrating the unlikely survival of
the human spirit. We have Daniel Bourne to thank for guiding these
poems into English." -John Witte, Editor, Northwest Review
"Deep gratitude
to Daniel Bourne and Salmon Run Press for making available in English
the profoundly moving voice of Polish writer, Tomasz Jastrun. This is
crucial, empowering work." -Naomi Shihab Nye
On the
Crossroads of Asia and Europe collects the poetry and
satirical prose of Polish writer Tomasz Jastrun, winner of the 1983 "S
Prize" from Underground Solidarity for his poetry during Poland's
martial law period in the early 1980's.
Daniel Bourne
teaches at The College of Wooster (Ohio), where he edits Artful
Dodge, a journal of new American writing and literature in
translation. Since 1980 he has been a frequent visitor to Poland,
including on a 1985-87 Fulbright fellowship for translation work with
younger Polish writers.
Salmon Run Press

Its titles are distributed internationally in the US, Canada, England,
