Fuit, Aleksander. Foreword. Czesław Miłosz in Postwar America, by Ewa Kołodziejczyk. Trans. Michał Janowski. Warsaw/Berlin: De Gruyter Poland Ltd, 2020, p. xii.
Adam Zagajewski reads from Tremor (1985) and Solidarity, Solitude (1990). He also reads early drafts of translations of poems that would go on to be collected in Canvas (1991); most differ from those that appear in the published version of the book (translated by Renata Gorczynski, Benjamin Ivry, and C.K. Williams).
Robert Hass reads new translations from the Polish of postwar poems by Czesław Miłosz. These poems come from the period (1946-1953) during which Miłosz fled from Warsaw and worked in the United States for the Polish consulate. Throughout the reading, Hass provides commentary on the unique challenges of translating Miłosz.
