Synopsis
Most of the poems in this collection resulted from a visit the poet made in 1989 to the Issa River valley he had grown up in and not seen for fifty years. This is the river Milosz faced while exploring ancient themes. He reflects upon the nature of imagination, human experience, good and evil--and celebrates the wonders of life on earth.

Publisher's Note
A poet of immense moral authority, Milosz writes with the amazing clarity that issues from a precise vision. In these later poems, the poems of older age, he takes a long look back at the catastrophic upheavals of the 20th century; yet despite the soberness of his themes, he writes with the lightness of touch found only in the great masters.

Industry Reviews
"Readers who love Milosz's work can only hope that it is not finished. Those like myself who see the world differently because of him hope he will continue to stand facing the river, and tell us what he sees."
New York Review of Books - Michael Ignatieff

"The work of Milosz reminds us of how much power poetry gains from bearing within itself an unforced, natural, and long-ranging memory of past customs; a sense of the strata of ancient and modern history; a wide visual experience; and a knowledge of many languages and literatures."
Helen Vendler
