Extractions: In 1973, when Brodsky came to live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I was in my last year at the University of Michigan. He was a major news item before he even arrived, a dissident hero. This was the young poet who had stood up to the Soviet State, proclaiming the sovereign right of the poet to speak his vision, and winning the adoration of literati the world over. Released from a sentence of hard labor (a concession to pressure from international writers and intellectuals), freed to emigrate to Israel, Brodsky changed his itinerary when he got to Vienna. He ended up accepting an offer extended by Carl Proffer, a professor and editor of the journal Ardis, to come to Michigan as poet-in-residence. In the five or six years Brodsky spent in Ann Arbor, he never succumbed to the relentless community domestication, generally achieved there, as everywhere, through departmental interactions and punishing rounds of social activity; he never lost his fierce exoticism. He was not a local force, to be comprehended in the usual terms, but an international force. He flew to New York and London on weekends. He would be spotted in some local bar with his friend Mikhail Baryshnikov or the poet Anthony Hecht or some stunning woman said to be an Italian actress or a distant relation of Count Leo Tolstoy. He was known to be a ladies' man. As for his teaching, those who knew said that his classes were impenetrable, not least because his English in those first months was a language adjacent to the one the rest of us spoke. Moreover, word was out that he suffered fools not at all.

Joseph Brodskys death, as poetry regains its place in the cultural landscape of America, is tragic. Poetrys reemergence, in many ways, is owed to him. What is it for great poets? Brodsky was an American Nobel laureate in poetry, a designation which signals a great deal of information regarding both the United States and our attitude towards poetry. Like our two other Nobel poets, Derek Walcott and Czeslaw Milosz, Brodsky was not born here. What is it about this country that makes us such a draw for great poets? Were a haven the freedom of expression guaranteed by the First Amendment is literally a poetic license. But at the same time, we have rarely granted our own poets much of a voice, or poetry itself much of a place, in our culture at large. We have preferred our poets buried, thank you, and their books, too, hidden along the top shelves of the Dust Museums.

http://www.josephbrodsky.org/about.html

Extractions: Contacts About In the fall of 1995 the Nobel-Prize-winning poet Joseph Brodsky approached the mayor of Rome to urge the creation of a Russian Academy. This would bring Russian artists, writers, and scholars to join their colleagues from other countries who had, for centuries, sought inspiration in that ancient city. Brodsky reminded the mayor of the strong links between pre-revolutionary Russia and Italy: "Italian culture is indeed the mother of Russian aesthetics," he wrote, "and for seventy of this century´s years this connection between the mother and her child was artificially severed." Six years into Russia´s perilous break from dictatorship he urged: "Italy was a revelation to the Russians; now it can become the source of their renaissance." While continuing to send literary fellows, the Fund broadened its reach in 2002 to include visual artists, thanks to a grant from the Trust for Mutual Understanding . Under this grant one artist a year for six years has been given a studio and living space in the American Academy in Rome to live and work for three months. In Italy, Boris Biancheri, former ambassador from Italy to United States and current president of the Italian National Press Agency, presides over a sister organization, the Associazione Joseph Brodsky, that includes Roberto Calasso, writer and the director of Adelphi publishing house, and the author and historian Benedetta Craveri.

Extractions: Search E-Mail Article Printer-Friendly 3-Column Format Translate Share Article Listen to Article Text Size Published: June 28, 2007 document.writeln(''); Less Than One By Joseph Brodsky First published in 1987. Russian literature is the big kahuna, and anyone wanting to tackle it has a lot of reading to do. So I will suggest something subversive. (Subversion, after all, is very Russian.) Cut corners. To do so is to understand life in Soviet-era Leningrad, and perhaps life anywhere one is not entirely free. Brodsky toys with the twisted geometry of the regime, discussing architecture and its uses - the prison and the factory are identical; the baroque facade of a home belies the poverty inside. How to make much from little, and why is standing straight more attractive than slouching when the world is so heavy? Globespotters Urban advice from reporters who live there.

Extractions: to a part. To his spoken part. To a part of speech." by Ron Hogan David Remnick began the New Yorker festival's tribute to Joseph Brodsky by describing how the Russian expatriate poet used to show his disdain for the "vulgarity" of journalistic questions about his political views by making "them" hold his cat in "their" lap, producing much sniffling as allergies kicked in. (Somehow, I think the sample pool here might be rather narrow...) After offering some additional insights into Brodsky's verse and his stature in his homeland, Remnick turned the microphone over to the writers, beginning with Mark Strand , who recalled of Brodsky's readings, "he seemed to chant, and American poets tend to mumble." Nicole Krauss was next, and though she's best known as a novelist these days, she has written some poetry with, she told us, a bit of mentorship from Brodsky that began her freshman year of college. She read a letter he'd written with advice on specific poems; his reaction to one titled "Sleeping With Baryshnikov" was that "sex is something that is easier done than said, and this poem proves it." Gary Shtenygart revealed that, unlike the other panelists, he'd never met Brodsky, but as a Russian emigré in New York in the 1980s, he was acutely aware of him; a declaration by Shtenygart's mother that she'd seen the poet crossing the street in Manhattan and looking pale could set off all manner of hoopla in the household, and the teenage boy came to the poems because he wanted to know who could generate such a fuss. Tatyana Tolstaya talked about the time she came to America and met Brodsky, then recalled how she dreamed about his death at, apparently, the very hour it was happening; she also read from three of his poems in Russian, which many audience members in the darkened auditorium appreciated, if the murmuring was any indication.
