Czeslaw Milosz (1911-2004) often seemed austere and forbidding to
Americans, but those who got to know him found him warm, witty, and
endlessly enriching. An Invisible Rope: Portraits of Czeslaw Milosz
presents a collection of remembrances from his colleagues, his
students, and his fellow writers and poets in America and Poland.
Milosz's oeuvre is complex, rooted in twentieth-century eastern
European history. A poet, translator, and prose writer, Milosz was
a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1961 to
1998. In 1980 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The
earliest in this collection of thirty-two memoirs begins in the
1930s, and the latest takes readers to within a few days of
Milosz's death. This vital collection reveals the fascinating life
story of the man Joseph Brodsky called "one of the greatest poets
of our time, perhaps the greatest." Contributors include: Bogdana
Carpenter, Clare Cavanagh, Anna Frajlich, Natalie Gerber, George
Goemoeri, Irena Grudzinska Gross, Hynryk Grynberg, Dan Halpern,
