The long-awaited paperback edition of Selected Poems, revised
and updated with more than forty new poems never before published
in English
2011 marks the centenary year of one of the twentieth century's
most important poets, Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz. To mark the
occasion, Anthony Milosz has translated into English the last poems
his father wrote, granting readers new insight into the work of an
unparalleled master of the form.
Life opened for Czeslaw Milosz with the clash of civilizations
in northeastern Europe. What unfolded around him was a century of
catastrophe and madness: two world wars, revolutions, invasions,
and the murders of tens of millions of people. In the thick of this
upheaval, wide awake and in awe of living, Milosz tried to
understand both history and the moment, with humble respect for the
suffering of each individual. He wrote masterful poetry infused
with a tireless spirit and a penetrating insight into fundamental
human dilemmas and the staggering yet simple truth that "to exist
on the earth is beyond any power to name."
