What Poland lost, the University of California gained when notable poet Czeslaw Milosz accepted a posting as professor of Slavic Languages and Literature in the early 1960s. Since then, Milosz has gone on to win several awards of recognition, including a Nobel Prize in Literature in 1980. Translated with the help of Robert Hass, Road-Side Dog is a collection of the poet's work that reflects on the significance -if any - of seemingly unimportant ideas, people and creatures, such as dogs that bark incessantly when strangers enter their midst. | Road-side Dog by Czeslaw Milosz, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
