    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The Oxford Handbook of Modern and Contemporary American Poetry provides a comprehensive approach to the debates that have defined the study of American verse of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Topics include: the influence of jazz on beat poetry; surrealist influences on American verse; disability poetics; Asian American poetry; and more.

    Assembling though-provoking essays that encompass a vast range of poetry and poetics, The Oxford Handbook succeeds admirably at offering readers some of the best current approaches tp reading modern and contemporary American poetry ... It is hard to envision a volume that would better take account of the present state of criticism and scholarship of American poetry.
