Born eighty years ago in Lithuania, Czeslaw Milosz has been acclaimed "one of the greatest poets of our time, perhaps the greatest" (Joseph Brodsky). This self-described "connoisseur of heavens and abysses" has produced a corpus of poems, essays, memoirs, and fiction of such depth and range that the reader's imagination is moved far beyond ordinary limits of consciousness. In The Poet's Work Leonard Nathan and Arthur Quinn follow Milosz's wanderings in exile from Poland to Paris to Berkeley as they chart the singular development of his art.

Mai presus de toate însă, amintirea este străjuită de o înaltă conştiinţă morală, aceeaşi care a ţinut trează, în sufletele ascultătorilor săi „pe unde scurte“, deopotrivă speranţa că normalitatea este cu putinţă şi ideea că ea nu poate fi decât rodul unei necurmate lupte. Este şi legatul cel mai însemnat pe care La apa Vavilonului ni-l transmite nouă, celor de azi.
