ISBN: 9780807131701 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) These rich, lyrical poems, written by Jane Gentry over ten years, register the resonance between the poet's inner being and the outer world's everyday events.

The play of moonlight...
