  Poet in the New World - Poems...

  Czeslaw Milosz

  A new collection of work from Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz that includes previously untranslated poems written during his time in Washington, D.C., and his years in Europe before and after 
  One of the most revered poets of the twentieth century, Czeslaw Milosz famously bore witness to its violence in his native Poland and in the war’s aftermath from exile in Europe and the United States. Immediately after the war, he lived in Washington, D.C., working as a diplomatic official, having left behind an old world stained by bloodshed and still in the throes of ideological conflict as he sought to find his bearings in a new world. 
  Poet in the New World gathers the poems written during these years—for the first time in English translation—and is contextualized by the poetry that came directly before and after, from poems written in Warsaw in 1945, shortly before he departed for the United States, to others written in Europe from 1951 to 1953, after his significant time away. Capturing Milosz at his existential and stylistic best, Poet in the New World is attuned to the necessity of imagination and the duty of language and is filled with wonder and skepticism. Milosz grapples with the extraordinary violence he had witnessed in Warsaw and the strange postwar United States he has inhabited, all while pondering the enduring fate of his beloved Poland. In the poem “Warsaw,” the poet asks, “How can I live in this country/Where the foot knocks against/the unburied bones of kin?” 
  Equal parts affecting and illuminating, Poet in the New World is an essential addition to the Milosz canon, in a beautifully rendered translation by Robert Hass and David Frick, that reverberates with the questions of histories past, present, and future. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Tears, dropping, running like a river 
  Genuine attention needed 
  But how to wipe them with hands tied 
  Call for help, people will hear 
  Some might hear and turn a blind eye 
  Others might pretend they don't hear you cry 
  Yet a kind one must come running 
  If not running, to your aid, walking, scrambling

  An authentic exploration of the real RumiAs one of the world's most loved poets, Rumi's poems are celebrated for their message of love and their beauty, but too often they are stripped of their mystical and spiritual meanings. The Gift of Rumi offers a new reading of Rumi, contextualizing his work against the broader backdrop of Islamic mysticism and adding a richness and authenticity that is lacking in many Westernized conceptions of his work. Author Emily Jane O'Dell has studied Sufism both academically, in her work and research at Harvard, Columbia, and the American University of Beirut, and in practice, learning from a Mevlevi master and his whirling dervishes in Istanbul. She weaves this expertise throughout The Gift of Rumi, sharing a new vision of Rumi’s classic work.At the heart of Rumi’s mystical poetry is the “religion of love” which transcends all religions. Through his majestic verses of ecstasy and longing, Rumi invites us into the religion of the heart and guides us to our own loving inner essence. The Gifts of Rumi gives us a key to experiencing this profound and powerful invitation, allowing readers to meet the master in a new way.

  Amid the storied halls of the Royal Cambridge Scholastic Institute, Professor Erasmus Cromwell-Smith—beloved pedagogue, poet, and relentless seeker of truth—finds himself on the brink of a new academic year. Surrounded by antiquarian volumes and the warm presence of Victoria Emerson-Lloyd, the love of his life, he prepares to illuminate the minds of his students with one of life’s most daunting themes: adversity. From the hush of a predawn study to the bustling energy of a packed university auditorium, Erasmus invites his class on a journey of discovery, introspection, and hope. 
  But adversity is not merely an academic subject—it touches every facet of Erasmus’s own life. Through poignant narrations, tender memories, and stirring poetry, Magic In Life—The Equilibrist Series Vol. III unravels a tapestry of trials and triumphs. As Erasmus recounts the struggles that tested his spirit, readers encounter the raw, universal truths of hardship and renewal. In reflective conversations with Victoria—whose gentle presence radiates unconditional love—we witness how true courage emerges in the face of fear and longing. 
  Infused with lyrical verses, deep philosophical insights, and a dash of old-world charm, Magic In Life—The Equilibrist Series Vol. III is a testament to the power of narrative and poetry to transform pain into wisdom, fracture into resilience, and separation into reunion. Whether it is the hush of a centuries-old library or the vibrant exchange in a rapt lecture hall, Professor Cromwell-Smith’s enduring lessons remind us that from the moment adversity strikes to the dawn of new beginnings, life continuously offers us the chance to learn, to heal, and ultimately—if we listen with open hearts—to flourish.
