Not: A Trio
ISBN: 9780268036515 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Acclaimed novelist, short story writer, and poet, David Huddle captivates us with a new collection. Not: A Trio is a sequence of three related stories that, taken together, form a unified work of fiction. This faceted approach is especially suited to a work that reveals the intricate connections among Danny Marlow, Claire McClelland, and Ben McClelland.

Danny narrates the first story, introducing the reader to Claire, a therapist who has, he says, lived a life that would drop most men in their tracks....

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Maura Nelson, who has expertise in physics, medicine, and programming, has stumbled upon a way to execute someone using only the computers in her home office - silently, anonymously, leaving no trace of violence, so that her target appears to have died of natural causes.

Dream Sender: Poems
ISBN: 9780807160138 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) An account of spiritual survival through the practice of literary art, the poems in David Huddle's eighth collection, Dream Sender, move among a variety of poetic forms and voices. Here, a bear wonders why he could not have been a raccoon, a bird, or a meadow; and a five-year-old thrills to the forbidden taste of whiskey as he eavesdrops on his parents' after-dinner conversation. By turns outrageous and pragmatic, Huddle's poems acknowledge the powerful and disturbing currents of the contemporary world as they also explore the comfort and familiarity we find there. Huddle's poems illuminate...

Grayscale: Poems
ISBN: 9780807129500 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In his compelling new collection, David Huddle writes, "We think / we stand in the vivid color of here and now / and view the past as drab black and white, / whereas the truth is - it's our future / that's the off-center, badly focused grayscale." Spiraling between the tenses of time, David Huddle creates in these vibrant poems a defense against the encroachment of age through the resources of language and memory, imagination and art. Moments recollected-and admittedly embellished-from his own life and family seem appealingly familiar: a teenage dance, Grandmama's morning coffee, young...

The Writing Habit
ISBN: 9780874516685 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Facing the blank page of the empty computer screen requires an unswerving belief in possibility, a steadfast assurance that something can and will come out of nothing. In The Writing Habit, David Huddle demystifies the writing task and shows that what may seem like alchemy is in reality a habit: the work itself, not magic, unlocks the writer's potential. "A real writing life is not something you do merely for a day or a month or a year," Huddle asserts. "For a writer, the one truly valuable possession is the ongoing work--the writing habit, which may take some getting used to, but which...
