John Dickson

Mister Hamilton

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Shot-through with veins of jazz, rock and blues, quizzical religiosity and a streak of the absurd, this book takes a fresh look at the streets and lawns and people of urban and suburban "Pig Island” and offers some thoughtful, wisely pitched and immensely likeable poems.
