Czesław Miłosz Would Have Been Happiest with This Evening
The final day of the 2nd Miłosz Festival was a splendid finale to a week of adventures in the poetic imagination.
Things didn’t look good.
The cold and rainy Sunday left little hope for the flash mob. The “poetry carriers” were meant to combine the idea of taking time for poetry (an idea in which we would all like to believe) with an act of spontaneous and unbridled fun (an act that is increasingly hard to recognize in the consumer world). The flash mob was supposed to bring us closer to Czesław Miłosz’s poetry.

Exile – As Classless as the Common Cold
Another day of the 2nd Miłosz Festival has gone by, this time with a stress on translation. Miłosz, the “caretaker of Polish literature,” became a pretext to consider the role of Polish literature in the world.

Yesterday’s main event was the first poetry evening. The Peter and Paul Church on Grodzka Street, in the heart of old Krakow, resounded with the voices of some of the finest modern poets – guests of the 2nd Miłosz Festival.

A Penetrating, As If X-Ray, Intelligence
On Miłosz intimately, on Miłosz politically, on Miłosz in the context of other writers. Miłosz was without a doubt a multi-dimensional man and an artist—here are the latest results of the 2nd Miłosz Festival.
