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...
