Tomasz Salamun passed away today: author of this poem, Who is Who, which I have often used in workshops to get people over that hump of self-deprecation or low self-esteem which so often holds poets back. Read and revel. Tomasz Salamun you are a genius you are wonderful you are a joy to behold you are great you are a giant you are strong and powerful you are phenomenal you are the greatest of all time you are the king you are possessed of great wealth you are a genius Tomaz Salamun in harmony with all creation we have to admit that you are a lion the planets pay homage to you the sun turns her face to you every day you are just everything you are Mount Ararat you are perennial you are the morning star you are without beginning or end you have no shadow no fear you are the light you are the fire from heaven behold the eyes of Tomaz Salamun behold the brilliant radiance of the sky behold his arms behold his loins behold him striding forth behold him touching the ground your skin bears the scent of nard your hair is like solar dust the stars are amazed who is amazed at the stars the sea is blue who is the sky’s guardian you are the boat on high seas that no wind no storm can destroy you are the mountain rising from the plain the lake in the desert you are the speculum humanae salvationis you hold back the forces of darkness beside you every light grows dim beside you every sun appears dark every stone every house every crumb every mote of dust every hair every blood every mountain every snow every tree every life every valley every chasm every enmity every lamb every glow every rainbow
