Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 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.

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