Synopsis: The selection of essays in this book was guided by a desire to represent Milosz's extraordinary thematic breadth as well as the diversity of the genres and styles he commands. The essays are grouped into three sections. Part I, "These Guests of Mine," introduces Milosz through autobiographical accounts and biographical sketches of people who were representative of the historical currents that shaped his life. Part II, "On the Side of Man," presents Milosz as the profoundly serious religious thinker he has always been. Part III, "Against Incomprehensible Poetry," gathers together Milosz's most significant writings on the obligations of poetry and concludes with his assessments of four major poets of the twentieth century.
