• "I took the names of birds and fruit from them". Czesław Miłosz’s poetic image of home and family
• "Iš jų perėmiau paukščių ir vaisių pavadinimus". Namų ir šeimos paveikslas Česlovo Milošo poezijoje

ENThe focus of the article is Czesław Miłosz᾽s poetry in which he returns to his childhood milieu and people who played a signifi cant role in the formation of his personality and identity. The poet links specifi c sides of his personality with his birthplace, Szetejnie on the River Niewiaża, located “in the heart of Lithuania”. In his poetry, Miłosz devotes special attention to his mother, Weronika, from the Kunat family, and pays less attention to his father. He also reminisces about his grandfather Zygmunt Kunat, wife Janina, and other distant relatives. Miłosz creates the image of home and family through detailed poetic descriptions evoking at times episodes of a close relationship with his family members. Thus, he intends to express his appreciation for the places that he is part of and gratitude to those who contributed to his formation and his journey throughout his lifetime. Keywords: Czesław Miłosz, home, family, childhood, Lithuania. [From the publication]
