Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The story of one young man crossing the burning bridge between innocence and experience, Spring's Fall is a narrative dramatic poem comprised of several stand-alone poems about fitting in and falling out, finding oneself and losing oneself, and discovering the meanings of life, love, and identity.

All Things Painful
ISBN: 9780988987333 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) All Things Painful is a collection of words delivered through the mind, heart, and spirit of a man who, like so many others, has been forced to come to terms with who he is, who he was, and where to go from here. Ranging from thought-provoking verses that could double as lyrics on a rock album to rhythmic stories about luck, love, life, and death to Bushido-inspired lamentations, it conveys a message that is almost completely devoid of faith, yet ultimately full of hope.
