Ecstatic Pessimist: Czeslaw Milosz, Poet of Catastrophe and Hope

Norman and Sylvia Boorstein will be in conversation with Peter Dale Scott, author of the recently published Ecstatic Pessimist: Czeslaw Milosz, Poet of Catastrophe and Hope.

Ecstatic Pessimist is a timely book about the Central and Eastern European experience of the mid-20th century, as told through the poetry and experiences of Czeslaw Milosz, Nobel Laureate for literature, who wrote on the horrors of war and the human experience.

Written by a colleague and friend of the poet, it is part literary criticism and part memoir.
