Description: "For decades, the poetry and prose of Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz have enthralled and provoked his readers. To Begin Where I Am brings together - in the most complete one-volume edition available in English - a rich sampling of the prose writings of "arguably the greatest living poet" (Edward Hirsch, The New York Times Book Review).

Spanning more than half a century, these essays, several of which have never before appeared in English, present Milosz the prose writer in all his multiple, intriguing guises."--BOOK JACKET.
