Selected Poems
ISBN: 9781463698997 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This is a selection of the best of William Peskett's poetry, most chosen from his two collections of poems with the addition of a number of newer works. Most of the poems date from the 1960s and 1970s, when Peskett was part of a vigorous poetic movement that emerged from politically troubled Northern Ireland. Although few of the poets working in the Province at that time took politics as a major theme, Peskett's work in particular maintains a distance from the Troubles, dealing more commonly with the natural world and our interactions with it, especially through science. Other trained...
