Speak, Old Parrot

Více o knize

2013 marks Dannie Abse's 90th birthday. In his lifetime he has published an astonishing array of work including poetry, fiction, criticism, plays, and autobiography, but it is as a poet that he is best known and loved. In Speak, Old Parrot he returns to themes of loss, love, medicine and its moral implications, the nature of creativity, Jewish folk tradition, and the passing of time. The poems are observant of the outside world as well as the inner life and emotions, but most of all they are a joy to read.
