Road-Side Dog

In this memorable collection of poems and essays, aphorisms and anecdotes, Czeslaw Milosz addresses a wide range of topics with extraordinary insight and a wry sense of humor. From reflections on youth and beauty to meditations on growing old, from thoughts on this century's dark history to the poet's place at this stage, Milosz reveals an inimitable gift for observation in simple, beautiful prose. Remarkable for its brevity, spontaneity, and generosity of spirit, Road-side Dog is one of the most engaging works to date from one of our greatest living poets.
