TY - JOUR TI - Mucha uwięziona w bursztynie. O Ameryce i wyobraźni Miłosza AU - Bilczewski, Tomasz TI - Mucha uwięziona w bursztynie. O Ameryce i wyobraźni Miłosza AB - A FLY TRAPPED IN AMBER. ON CZESŁAW MIŁOSZ’S AMERICA AND IMAGINATION This article examines selected historical contexts of Miłosz’s encounters with America. It demonstrates the confl icts, paradoxes and contrasts in the poet’s attitude towards the country where he spent many years of his adult and creative life. Miłosz’s early readings and passions for discovering the laws and secrets of nature as well as Romantic and modern literary traditions signifi cantly infl uenced his perception of American landscapes and culture. They shaped his new internal landscapes. The speaker’s changes, a result of Miłosz’s experiences in the New World, allow us to understand how his characteristic spatial imagination developed. Moreover, the article outlines Miłosz’s pursuit of a remedy for his disintegrated imagination, and its religious dimension in particular.
