I missed the news: 08.15.2004 - Nobel poet Czeslaw Milosz of Poland and Berkeley, one of the icons of the Solidarity movement, dies. Other articles about the death of CzeslawMilosz:

• NPR : Requiem for a Poet: Czeslaw Milosz: "Nobel Prize-winning poet Czeslaw Milosz has died at the age of 93 in Krakow, Poland. Milosz served in the Polish diplomatic corps, but defected from the communist state in 1951 and settled in the United States during the Cold War years. Hear NPR's Jennifer Ludden and Robert Hass, a former U.S. poet laureate who helped translate Milosz's poetry." (It was wonderful to actually hear Milosz's voice reading one of his poems.)

Returning Milosz collection to Jim

Posted: http://raymondyee.net/blog/archives/000288.html

My co-worker Jim Harris was very thoughtful and generous to lend me his copy of CzeslawMilosz's New and Collected Poems: 1931-2001. I'm now ready to return it because Laura bought me my very own copy of the collected poems as well as Second Space, the first collection of poetry since New and Collected Poems: 1931-2001.

Before I return the book, I made sure that I took down the poems I had bookmarked:

• "A Poor Christian Looks at the Ghetto" p. 63

• "Ars Poetica?" p. 240

• "Oeconomia Divina" p. 263

• "Temptation" p. 342

• "Capri" p. 585

• "Report", p. 589

• "My Secrets" p. 792

• "If" p. 703

• "An Alcoholic Enters the Gates of Heaven" p. 734

• "Prayer" p. 742

Thanks, Jim!
