Morning Knowledge
ISBN: 9780268030933 / Angielski / Miękka / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kevin Hart is not only one of Australia's most important poets but a major figure in world poetry. He is a visionary writer who has taken his bearings as much from English Romanticism and European Modernism as from the Bible, Plato, and Meister Eckhart. In "Morning Knowledge," Hart grieves the passing of his father, while continuing his unique interlacing of the spiritual and the sensuous. These poems are dual in nature and inspiration, embracing the pain and passion of humanity at the same time as they evoke theimmanence of God in the world. A book of elegies and love poems, prayers and... Kevin Hart is not only one of Australia's most important poets but a major figure in world poetry.

Non - And Other Sense
ISBN: 9781612041018 / Angielski / Twarda / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The magic of poetry is created through tone, association, and rhythm. Where "a picture says a thousand words," a poem may replace a thousand pages. Poems invite our imagination to unwrap the condensed context of word compositions, and then find unique connotations and emotional responses in the ensuing associations with our personal experiences. Thus, a book of poetry may appear in many contexts; its impact on the open mind, however, is unique through individual differences and prevailing mood. Life experience enters poetry in many subtle ways. There is no specific experience to share. Four...

Naked Clay
ISBN: 9781848611870 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'Naked Clay' is an intimate response to the paintings of Lucian Freud-"the great amplifier of twentieth century figurative art"' as the critic Sebastian Smee has written. The poems are as urgent as the paintings, and taken together they constitute an essay on the ambiguous gifts from a painter of such mortal, material presences. Barry Hill has created a unique space for the senses and the intellect to be prompted, explored and disturbed.
