from Ecco
Customer Review:
It is difficult often to take to heart a poet in translation. It is difficult too for the modern reader to focus on a Poet who does not dwell in his own subjective consciousness, and does not have 'I' at the heart of his world of perception. For these reasons it took me time to 'get into' these... more info

| | 2. |  | Selected Poems
from Ecco
Customer Review:
What I love most about reading modern poetry is the open friendliness of the poets.

Not... more info

| | 4. |  | The Captive Mind
from Vintage
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:

| | 9. |  | Milosz's ABC's
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $11.90
Customer Review:
Most entries in this alphabetized soup of cultural what's what and who's who are devoted to fellow Lithuanians and Poles--names that will be obscure to most readers.
