Title: Poet in the New World: Poems, 19461953

Author: Czeslaw Milosz

Narrator: Robert Hass

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3:00:00

Language: English

Release date: 02-04-25

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Summary:

A new collection of work from Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz that includes previously untranslated poems written during his time in Washington, D.C. and his years in Europe before and after

One of the most revered poets of the twentieth century, Czeslaw Milosz famously left his native Poland to escape the Communist regime that ascended after World War II. While he remains strongly associated with that country, Milosz also lived in Washington, D.C. from 1946 to 1950, working as a diplomatic official and leaving behind an old world tarnished by violence and bloodshed to take his bearings in a new world. 

Poet in the New World gathers the poems written in these years for the first time in English translation and is contextualized by the poetry that came directly before and after, from poetry written in Warsaw in 1945, shortly before he departed for the United States, to poetry written in Europe from 1951 to 1953, after his significant time away. Capturing Milosz at his existential and stylistic best, Poet in the New World is attuned to the necessity of imagination and the duty of language and filled with wonder and skepticism. Milosz grapples with the extraordinary violence he had witnessed and the strange postwar United States he has inhabited while pondering the enduring fate of his beloved Poland. In the poem Warsaw the poet asks, How can I live in this country/Where the foot knocks against/the unburied bones of kin?

Equal parts affecting and illuminating, Poet in the New World is an essential addition to the Milosz canon, in a beautifully rendered translation by Robert Hass and David Frick that reverberates with the questions of histories past, present, and future.

So began a yearlong odyssey through the medical systems of Rome and Italy, with the hope of somehow being able to return home to his house in London.

While confined to a series of hospital wards, he felt compelled to write, but being unable to type or hold a pen, he began to dictate to family members the words that formed in his headthoughts on his medical condition, but also parenthood, immigration, sex, psychoanalysis, and, of course, writing. The result was an extraordinary series of dispatches from his hospital bed: a diary of a life in pieces, recorded with rare honesty, humor, and verve.

Shattered takes these dispatchesedited, expanded, and meticulously interwoven with new writingand charts both a shattering and a reassembling: a new life born of pain and loss but also animated by new feelings of gratitude, humility, and love.

Support is a verb.

When she was pursuing her entrepreneurial dreams, she quickly saw the racial disparities and systemic issues affecting Black small businesses. She began meeting many brilliant entrepreneurs and small business owners, recognizing their potential to soar if backed by invested supporters. 

In response, Dr. Hallmon founded the Village Market and challenged people to put the Support is a Verb mantra to action by rallying around businesses within their own communities. As a result, The Village Market funneled millions of dollars into local businesses, attacking the wealth gap and spiriting economic prosperity. This replicable model has inspired others nationwide to adopt a similar approach and economic strategy. She found that her beliefs were true: that by rooting our lives, businesses, and work in communitywe find resources to create and support economic mobility from within.

This book debunks the myth of being self-made and empowers readers to abandon the notion and lean into community on their pathway to success.

''People of Means left me breathless! A beautifully crafted story...profound and sharp.''Sadeqa Johnson New York Times bestselling author of The House of Eve

Two women. Two pivotal moments. One dream for justice and equality.

In the fall of 1959, Freda Gilroy arrives on the campus of Fisk University full of hope, carrying a suitcase and the voice of her father telling her shes part of a family legacy of greatness. Soon, the ugliness of the Jim Crow South intrudes, and shes thrust into a movement for social change. Freda is reluctant to get involved, torn between a soon-to-be doctor her parents approve of and an audacious young man willing to risk it all in the name of justice. Freda finds herself caught between two worlds, and two loves, and must decide how much shes willing to sacrifice for the advancement of her people.

But with the ruling in the Rodney King trial weighing heavily on her, Tulip feels called to action. When she makes an irreversible professional misstep as she seeks to uplift her community, she must decide, just like her mother had three decades prior, what shes willing to risk in the name of justice and equality.
