Reading
Robert Hass - January 27, 2024

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.
