The son of a civil engineer, Milosz completed his university studies in Wilno (now Vilnius, Lithuania), which then belonged to Poland. By the time he published his first book of verse, Poemat o czasie zastyglym ("Poem of Frozen Time"), at age 21, he was both a socialist and a leader of the Catastrophist group of poets, who were so named for their predictions of impending worldwide disaster. During the Nazi occupation of Poland, Milosz was active in the resistance and edited, wrote, or translated many clandestine works, such as Pieshn niepodlegla (1942; "Invincible Song"). His collection of poetry Ocalenie Though Milosz was primarily a poet, his best-known work became his collection of essays Zniewolony umysl The Captive Mind ), which condemned the accommodation of many Polish intellectuals to communism. This theme dominated his novel Zdobycie wladzy The Seizure of Power ). His poetic works are noted for their classical style and their preoccupation with philosophical and political issues.

From a spring in hidden grottoes, seeping from mossy rocks Where a goddess pours live water from a pitcher, At clear streams in the meadow, where rills murmur underground, Your race and my race begin, and amazement, and quick passage. Naked, I exposed my face to the sun, steering with hardly a dip of the paddle Oak woods, fields, a pine forest skimming by, Around every bend the promise of the earth, Village smoke, sleepy herds, flights of martins over sandy bluffs. I entered your waters slowly, step by step, And the current in the silence took my by the knees Until I surrendered and it carried me and I swam Through the huge reflected sky of a triumphant noon. I was on your banks at the onset of midsummer night When the full moon rolls out and lips touch in the rituals of kissing I hear in myself, now as then, the lapping of water by the boathouse And the whisper that calls me in for an embrace and for consolation.

Add to a Notebook Czeslaw Milosz Czeslaw Milosz was born to Weronika and Aleksander Milosz on June 30, 1911, in Szetejnie, Lithuania (then under the domination of the Russian tsarist government). After the outbreak of World War I, Aleksander Milosz was drafted into the Tsar's army, and as a combat engineer he built bridges and fortifications in front-line areas. His wife and son accompanied him in his constant travels about Russia. The family did not return to Lithuania until 1918, whereupon they settled in Wilno (then a part of Poland; also called Vilnius or Vilna). Milosz graduated from high school in 1929, and in 1930 his first poems were published in Alma Mater Vilnenis , a university magazine. In 1931 he co-founded the Polish avant-garde literary group "Zagary"; his first collection of verse appeared in 1933. That same year he co-edited an Anthology of Social Poetry. In 1934 he earned a degree as Master of Law and traveled to Paris on a fellowship from the National Culture Fund. In 1936 he began working as a literary programmer for Radio Wilno. He was dismissed for his leftist views the following year and, after a trip to Italy, took a job with Polish Radio in Warsaw. He spent most of World War II in Nazi-occupied Warsaw working for underground presses.

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Czeslaw Milosz (1911 - ) Polish-American author, translator and critic, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1980. Milosz's poetry and essays are a mixture of autobiographical confessions dealing with the effects of exile, religious or metaphysical fragments, historical and literary analyses. Acclaimed as a Catholic poet, Milosz has also a strong pantheist element in his work. "Those who are alive receive a mandate from those who are silent forever. They can fulfill their duties only by trying to reconstruct precisely things as they were and by wrestling the past from fictions and legends." (from Nobel Lecture Czeslaw Milosz was born in Szetejnie, a rural town in Lithuania, then under the domination of the Russian czarist government. In Native Realm (1959) Milosz described his birth region as a land largely forgotten by history: "For many centuries, while kingdoms rose and fell along the shores of the Mediterranean and countless generations handed down their refined pleasures and vices, my native land was a virgin forest whose only visitors were the few Viking ships that landed on the coast." After WW I Milosz's family settled in Vilna, where he had a strict Roman Catholic education. "In a Roman Catholic country," Milosz wrote at an early stage of his career, "intellectual freedom always goes hand in hand with atheism." Later Milosz accepted his religious background and started to study Hebrew in order to render the Old Testament into Polish.

    Extractions: Czeslaw Milosz was born on 30 June 1911 in his family's former manorial village of Szetejnie, on the banks of the Niewiaza River, in what was before the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. His family was of the Polish-speaking gentry, a class that was politically and economically ruined by the time of Milosz's birth, but whose grand heritage nonetheless persisted in collective memory. Milosz counts himself among the last of the Polish Lithuanians, recalling, "We were something else, Lithuanians, but not in the accepted twentieth-century sense, which says that to be a Lithuanian you have to speak Lithuanian." (taken from "Conversations With Czeslaw Milosz"). Still under construction, more materials to come later within a wekk or two. We sincerely apologize.

    Extractions: March 29, 2000. Johnson Chapel, 8:00 p.m. Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz will read from his poetry and discuss his work in an onstage conversation with noted poetry critic Helen Vendler of Harvard University. The event is free and open to the public. Joseph Brodsky wrote: "I have no hesitations whatsoever in stating that Czeslaw Milosz is one of the greatest poets of our time, perhaps the greatest." Czeslaw Milosz was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1980, recognizing him as one of the greatest writers living today. Born in Lithuania in 1911, Milosz witnessed the turmoil of early twentieth-century Europe. In the thirties he was a leader of the Polish avant-garde poetry movement and during World War II he was a member of the resistance. The weight of Milosz's poetry arises from his remembering that man is inextricably linked to his history. Milosz deftly fuses historical and individual elements, making his poetry "a kind of higher politics, an unpolitical politics." In the forties, Milosz served as a diplomat for Poland's communist regime in Washington, D.C. In 1951 he defected to Paris where he spent the next decade as a freelance writer. He continued to writein Polishabout lost homelands, the search for identity, and political repression.
