What Sparks Poetry:
Susan Tichy on Czesław Miłosz's The Collected Poems
"His quarrels and debates with California—and with everything else, from the Catholic Church to the slippery and duplicitous powers of language itself—I met in the poems, and as poems. His dialectical movement through image and statement, history and lyric, was a revelation, a poetic practice that, in itself, opposed authoritarian thinking—literally a form of resistance." |
