At last available in English translation, Soy Realidad is Tomaž Šalamun's twenty-first collection of poetry, originally published in 1985. Showing a maturing poet at home as a citizen of the world, Soy Realidad ranges far from Šalamun's Slovenia, combining his native language with Latin, French, English, and Spanish, as well as evoking such places as Belize, the Sierra Nevada, and Mexico City. From sex to God, from landscape to literature, Šalamun's poetry is as ever a restless and witty inquisitor, peeling back the layers of the world.
