This book is a collection of six lectures Milosz gave as part of the Norton Lectures at Harvard University. Milosz's explanation of the witnessing function of poetry is extremely insightful. With this pamphlet, Milosz discusses the importance of poetry to the times. What Mie said is not a cliché. What he reminded the world of is precisely an ancient tradition of poetry. At the same time, reflection on the twentieth century provided a clearer direction for this thinking dimension.

"The purpose of poetry is, and can only be, salvation." "Poems in the Frozen Period: Miłosz's Collected Poems I" contains 56 poems by Miłosz, from "Poems in the Frozen Period" (1933), "Three Winters" (1936), "Salvation" (1945), The Light of Day (1953), "On Poetry" (1957) and "King Poppierre and Others" (1962). Most of them are long poems, which include rich lyricism and description, as well as fierce and indignant ridicule and criticism. During this period, Milosz witnessed many historical events and wrote famous works such as "Piazza Fiori". Czeslaw Milosz, one of the greatest poets of the 20th century, defined the tragedy and beauty of his era with unparalleled precision and elegance.

The poem's exploration of death, war, love and faith is gripping, shocking and thought-provoking: "The existence of this land itself is far beyond the description of any language." "Miłosz's Collected Poems" contains 335 of the poet's poems from 1931 to 2001. This poem chapter, according to the year of creation and publication, is divided into four volumes: "Poems of the Frozen Period", "Enchanted Guqiao", "Reminiscences of Homeland" and "Facing the River".

According to Milosz, poetry is a witness and participant of the times. The meaning of poetry is to try its best to capture the palpable truth. "Its purpose is, and can only be, to save." Poetry is not only a form, but also a power. Miłosz is a great patriot, not a person who is swayed by the wind; his poetry has taken root in the Chinese poetry scene since the 1980s and has had a lasting impact on Chinese poets. Milosz has always thought about whether poetry has a saving function. His poems are full of passion, firm and profound. His poems span the twentieth century, connecting the past with the present, connecting himself with readers, taking one sentence as his home, and fighting against chaos and nothingness.
