    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:

    "

    Writing in The Hudson Review,
    David Mason has characterized Lorna Goodison's work as a ""revelation
    to me, much of it beautiful for its simple negotiation of the line between
    life and art.""
    One of the most distinguished
    contemporary poets of the Caribbean, Goodison draws on both African and
    European inheritances in her finely crafted poems, which often carry a
    sense of language's healing power in the face of the pain of the past.
    She deals thematically with the struggle of Caribbean women and writes
    in a fashion that has developed from conversational to more ritualistic.
    From reviews of Goodison's
    earlier works:
    ""The evocative power
    of Lorna Goodison's poetry derives its urgency and appeal from the heart-and-mind
    concerns she has for language, history, racial identity, and gender.""
    Andrew Salkey -- World Literature Today
    ""A marvelous poet, one
    to savor and to chant aloud.""
    -- Pat Monaghan, Booklist
