A Book of Luminous Things: An International Anthology of Poetry by Czesław Miłosz

4.0

Lots of Californian and Polish poets - unsurprising, I suppose, since he was a Polish poet who spent 30+ years in California. He gives a short introduction to each poem, which I too often found either inane or lacking context for his claims (like that a poem was clearly about cavepeople when I thought it could easily be any people around a campfire) but were occasionally illuminating. Overall, a great collection of poetry, especially if you like Milosz and want to see what poetry he admired.
