"… the strictness of his feather that touches the whiteness of the paper with such a restraint and leaves its traces there hardly ever. The poems are made of words and every word should be questioned hundreds of times, scrutinized, put on the tongue, tasted to be allowed and to be able to take its place in the row of other words. Therefore Gombač's poems are sparse of words. Therefore in the "Dispersed Hand Palms" collection one finds plenty or whiteness and just a small number of poems. But - what poems!" (iz spremne besede, Peter Semolič)
