Jackstraws: Poems
ISBN: 9780156010986 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this new collection of sixty-two poems Charles Simic paints exquisite and shattering word pictures that lend meaning to a chaotic world populated by insects, bridal veils, pallbearers, TV sets, parrots, and a finely detailed dragonfly. Suffused with hope yet unafraid to mock his own credulity, Simic's searing metaphors unite the solemn with the absurd.

In this latest lyrical gathering, Simic continues to...
