This is conceptualized, metaphysical poetry that challenges us to unwrap her imagery and thus to enter intimately into her universe. Such poetry relies less on narrative and more on the compulsion of words themselves. Translator(s): Valis, Noel Maureen. Num Pages: 123 pages, port. BIC Classification: 2ADS; DSBH; DSC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 236 x 157 x 18. Weight in Grams: 363.
