Talk:Czesław Miłosz

message: This edit says that Milosz now lives in California; this edit says that Milosz now lives in Poland.
Robert Hass says California; Kraków says Poland. Which is correct? --Paul A 02:01, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The first edit does not imply that he lives in CA.--Jiang 04:30, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: "In 1961 he became a Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of California, Berkeley, where he now is a Professor Emeritus." --Paul A 08:43, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

text: It makes sense for him to be returning to his homeland now that he's retired. I called his Berkeley office (+1 (510) 642-1535) and no one picked up. --Jiang 20:46, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: So, being a Professor Emeritus at a university doesn't necessarily mean that one is actually at the university, then? The wording could do with some work. "...at the University of California, Berkeley, where he now is..." holds a clear implication, to my mind. --Paul A 02:31, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

message: I think someone should clearly state which book he won the Nobel prize for in the first paragraph, since it isn't very clear.
It was no only one book or poem. He won it because in all of his books and 
poems there are a very clever, anticommunist, antifascist and humanistic viewpoint.
Nobel prize for Milosz "who with uncompromising clear-sightedness voices man's exposed condition in a world of severe conflicts"--Merdys (talk) 22:17, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In addition, his father was ethnic Lithuanian, and Milosz lived much of his childhood in rural Lithuania, and it influenced his work. His novel Issa Valley is drawn from that. He identified with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and learned Lithuanian as a child. He attended school and the university in what is again Vilnius (then called Wilno as part of Poland), so was influenced by higher education in Lithuania as well. He refused to identify only as Polish or Lithuanian, although he wrote in Polish. Parkwells (talk) 15:17, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

message: Czesław Miłosz graduated from Vilnius University in 1933. In 1989 he was awarded an honorary degree from Harvard University. Pray, there is a difference between the two! (I went ahead and corrected it). -- 198.36.32.29 13:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Even according to Lithuanian researchers (Mindaugas Kvietkauskas) he didn't speak Lithuanian, was only able to read Lithuanian but unable to speak, also he was using Polish language when replying to Lithuanian letters.

message: Dear Piotrus, what makes you think that Russian Empire did use Polish place names? huh?--Lokyz (talk) 23:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see the relevance of your question, but it is obvious the Polish place name was used by many inhabitants, including Miłosz himself - hence it is highly relevant.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  00:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Could you provide some English references to it? I mean language usage and also cartographic material from the second half of the 19th century and teh first decade of the 20th.--Lokyz (talk) 00:47, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure. Columbia: "b. Szetejnie, Lithuania (then in Russia)"; Encarta: "Born in Szetejnie, Lithuania"; Encyclopedia of World Biography: "He was born on June 30, 1911 in Szetejnie, Lithuania then in Tsarist Russia" and so on. Many English sources use Polish spellings, which is why they should be kept on English Wikipedia.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  01:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I love it how all sources provided to prove Miłosz's American identity are also American, even though we are talking about a political émigré who had retained his original identity and language of expression throughout his life. Meanwhile Isadora Duncan is still listed as American, in spite of being a Soviet citizen at the time of her death in France. Are you heckin kidding me.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.10.128.80 (talk) 11:19, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
