A new volume of studies on Czeslaw Milosz and his oeuvre, edited by Tomasz Bilczewski, Luigi Marinelli and Monika Woźniak, contains a collection of articles written by worldwide renown scholars and translators of Milosz’s writings. The collection may be considered as a multivocal revision of the contemporary status of the image of the poet’s world. What appears to be the underlying principle of these various approaches to Milosz, is the general focus on his panoramic view of different continents and time perspectives. It is the tension between ‘home’ and ‘homelesness’, the state of being always ‘here’ and (at the same time) ‘there’, that makes the passage from a modern to a postmodern condition of humanity, the passage reflected upon in many of the articles collected in this international volume.

This paper investigates the ambiguous process of Czesław Miłosz’s integration
into America (both its nature and culture) in the context of his literary commitments and
“private obligations” to American poetry. It was a long and painful process, a constant
struggle with the state of exile, feelings of homelessness and uprootedness that fi nally
showed the poet the “new identity” of the modern man, bound to recognise his unstable,
tenuous position in space and time. According to Miłosz, America was a testing ground
for all mankind, and the very core of American literature had always been the question:
“Who am I?” Thus, Miłosz’s serious involvement in American history and culture gave
him a new perspective on global civilisation; it helped him to recreate his own identity
and to strike a balance between homelessness and belonging.

WHITMAN AND MIŁOSZ’S AMERICA
This paper investigates the ambiguous process of Czesław Miłosz’s integration with America (both its nature and culture) in the context of his literary commitments and “private obligations” to American poetry. It was a long and painful process, a constant struggle with the condition of exile, feelings of homelessness and uprootedness that finally revealed to the poet a “new identity” of the modern man, bound to recognize his unstable, shaky position in space and time. According to Miłosz, America was the testing ground for all mankind, and the very core of American literature had always been the question: “Who am I?”. Thus, Miłosz’s serious involvement in American history and culture gave him a new perspective on global civilization; it helped to recreate his own identity and to achieve a balance between homelessness and belonging.
