86 kr
Lägg i varukorg
For many poets there comes a point in their careers when a Selected Poems seems a logical step. Their style is now established, their subject-matter is their own, and their greatest hits lend themselves to a succinct introduction to their career. But for WN Herbert, that was never what it was all …
Third Shore
Chinese and English-language Poets in Mutual Translation
Häftad, 2013
262 kr
Lägg i varukorg
