The turmoil ofour
century has driven
some to silence.
And some to
eloquence.
Nobel Laureate Czeslaw
Milosz reflects upon poetry's
testimony to the events
ofour tumultuous time. He
addresses the problems and
conflicts ofcontemporary
poets and poetry-isolation
from society, despair, and
negativism-from a special
perspective of sensibility
and optimism.
