Nobel Prize poet Czeslow Milosz was acclaimed as a national hero when he
returned to his native Poland after nearly 30 years of self-imposed exile.
Milosz, now an American citizen, is on a two-week tour of Poland to give
poetry readings and receive an honorary degree from the Catholic University at
Lublin. He returns home June 16. Milosz served as Polish cultural attache in
Paris during the early 1950s and in 1953, he refused to return to Poland.
Almost all of his works were banned, and most Poles learned about him for the
first time when he won the Nobel Prize for Literature last year.
