Opis

A book of poetry steeped in war and cultural upheaval and wielding a fresh new language. It is about the most profound subjects - love and loss, conflict, grief, memory and desire - and attends to them all with lines that feel newly-minted, graceful in their cadences, passionate and hungry in their tender, close attention.

Recenzje
