Different Kinds of Music
ISBN: 9781848613706 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Different Kinds of Music follows Timothy "Westy" Westmont through six episodes from his childhood and youth, through his experiences as an archivist and a thief, to encounters with William Faulkner's bear in St. Louis, Hemingway's lingering ghost at Walloon Lake in Michigan, and Phillip Roth's Goodbye, Columbus in Columbus, Ohio itself.

Complayntes for Doctor Neuro & other poems
ISBN: 9781848615182 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

The present book, ending with the title sequence about being forced to confront some of the very neurological problems in fact which have in many earlier poems been something of a theoretical pre-occupation, also represents the more experimental side of his work that has tended to preoccupy the critics who have written on him over the past three decades, along with translation-based work (Virgil, the Chinese Shijing,...

ISBN: 9780804008976 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Battle of Kosovo cycle of heroic ballads is generally considered the finest work of Serbian folk poetry.
