Four Questions of Melancholy is a collection of poetry containing selections from each of Tomaž Šalamun's 25 works. This was the first book of the book series under the apt name "Terra Incognita" that was created in order to bring contemporary Central European and particularly Slovene literature to the wider American audience.

His new collection Feast will be published by Harcourt Brace, New York in April 2000, edited by Charles Semic and introduced by Edward Hirsch.

Šalamun's most important works translated to French, German and English: Poems choisis (Paris, 1995), Wal (Graz, 1990), The Selected Poems (New York, 1988), Four Questions of Melancholy (New York, 1997),
