Notebook of Signs
ISBN: 9781905700110 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. M.T.C. Cronin's last Shearsman collection 1-100, was awarded two major literary prizes in her native Australia and also brought her significant attention both in the UK and the USA.

Ms Cronin often works in longer forms - although equally adept at the short lyric - and these four sequences demonstate her mastery in this area.

The lyricism isneither fragile nor overly lavish and often a marvelous stanza is undercut. Sounds are deliberately thrown askew by a laconic expression or a surprisingly forthright final image.
