Reasoner PB
ISBN: 9781847771469 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Quixotic in his hapless drive to know everything in a world where nature itself is elusive, the narrator of these 95 free-verse poems struggles with his impulse to study and think when there is little that can be understood as language can be deceiving and history proposes and then disposes its patterns. Looking for a hidden order and raising big questions in his wake, the narrator takes on the universe, human nature, and the meaning of it all.

Acceptable Words: Essays on the Poetry of Geoffrey Hill
ISBN: 9780719067556 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Geoffrey Hill has said that some great poetry 'recognises that words fail us'.

This book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date critical work on Geoffrey Hill so far, covering all his work up to 'Scenes...
