My favorite Czeslaw Milosz poem...
And to hear Mr. Milosz read it out loud is even better… CONVERSATION WITH JEANNE by Czeslaw Milosz Let us not talk philosophy, drop it, Jeanne.  So many words, so much paper, who can stand it.  I told you the truth about my distancing myself.  I’ve stopped worrying about my misshapen life.  It was no better and no worse than the usual human tragedies.  For over thirty years we have...

Fiction from Robert Olen Butler →

I look at other parrots and I wonder if it’s the...
