Do you have an extra $1000.00 to spend? If so, then buy yourself an airline ticket and head over to Kraków, Poland, where the third edition of the Czesław Miłosz Festival begins next week.
The list of participants is deep and impressive–it includes Philip Levine, Gary Snyder, Tomaz Salamun, and Adam Zagajewski. The main theme of the conference centers on and around Miłosz’s great essay, The Land of Ulro.
If you can’t make it to Kraków–and see Calypso co-founder Piotr Florczyk’s hometown–then please consider spending the thousand dollars on Calypso Editions books. Happy reading!
