«Brodsky attacked the world... there is no voice, nor vision, that remotely resembles it» The New York Times Book Review
Self-taught, intense, spontaneous, and detached, Joseph Brodsky emerged in mid-Russia as a poetic virtuoso, recognized by great figures such as Anna Akhmatova as their worthy successor. He was expelled from the Soviet Union in 1972.
The poems in this volume develop the work that, as Brodsky saw it, the condition of exile presented: “to free the next person - no matter how theoretical they and their needs may be - a little freer.” This edition includes poems translated by Derek Walcott, Richard Wilbur, and Anthony Hecht, as well as poems written in English or translated by the poet himself.
It examines Brodsky's turbulent life and iconic career and highlights his most representative and moving work as a poet.
Nobel Prize in Literature winner. Edited and introduced by Ann Kjellberg. Pages: 192, Dimensions: 13x13cm.
