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.
