Returning Milosz to Jim

Jim's copy of Milosz's New and Collected Poems



My co-worker Jim Harris was very thoughtful and generous to lend me his copy of Czeslaw Milosz's New and Collected Poems: 1931-2001. I'm now ready to return it because Laura bought me my very own copy of the collected poems as well as Second Space, the first collection of poetry since New and Collected Poems: 1931-2001.


Before I return the book, I made sure that I took down the poems I had bookmarked:




  • "A Poor Christian Looks at the Ghetto" p. 63



  • "Ars Poetica?" p. 240



  • "Oeconomia Divina" p. 263



  • "Temptation" p. 342



  • "Capri" p. 585



  • "Report", p. 589



  • "My Secrets" p. 792



  • "If" p. 703



  • "An Alcoholic Enters the Gates of Heaven" p. 734



  • "Prayer" p. 742


Thanks, Jim!
