Description
This is a report of 10 conversations with poets of various nationalities about Joseph Brodsky, Nobel Prize Winner for Literature in 1987. The book combines biographical details with a summary of the poetics, style and ideas of Brodsky - one of the most influential poets to emerge in post-Stalinist Russia. His position in Russian literature is underlined by the fact that as a poet, essayist and playwright he is widely known and read in the English-speaking world. This guide to Brodsky's work is designed to be of interest to both the specialist scholar and general reader.
