Second Space

Czesław Miłosz · 2002 CE · Poem · Polish · Contemporary

Miłosz's last stand-alone collection, written in his nineties in Kraków and Berkeley after the death of his second wife. The poems turn to theology, the dead and the last questions about memory and the soul. It finishes the long line of poems in this archive that runs from Facing the River back through the postwar volumes.
