Review: The Witness of Poetry by Czeslaw Milosz - A beautiful book by the 1983 Nobel Laureate on poetry, humanity, suffering, and the ‘passionate pursuit of the real.’ Searching in poetry after historical catastrophes, the possibility of truth and hope and the profound meaning of our ‘great human family.’
Review: I love this book - I love this book. it really spoke to me about the role of the poet (and on a broader scale the role of the artist regardless of medium) in society, and our respondsibility. Highly reccommentd.
