Second Space. By Czeslaw Milosz. HarperCollins, 102 pp., $13.95 paperback.
This is the final book of poems from the Nobel Prize--winning poet who died last year at age 93. It is profoundly theological in its considerations of doubt, belief and theodicy. Particularly notable is "Treatise on Theology": "A young man couldn't write a treatise like this, / Though I don't think it is dictated by fear of death. / It is, simply, after many attempts, a thanksgiving. / Also, perhaps, a farewell to the decadence / Into which the language of poetry in my age has fallen. / Why theology? Because the first must be first." This is the poetry of a man who has lived a long time and suffered many losses. The final poem, "Orpheus and Eurydice," is a poignant tribute to his wife, Carol, who died in 2002.
