22. Reminiscence: Joseph Brodsky: Post Road #8 I knew joseph brodsky, not well by some standards, but with such exaggerated eagerness on my part that his influence remains, even now, eight years after http://www.postroadmag.com/8/etcetera/ReminiscenceJosephBrodsky.phtml

Submissions Masthead Archives Reminiscence: Joseph Brodsky -Sven Birkets 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.

A Song Joseph Brodsky I wish you were here, dear, I wish you were here. I wish you sat on the sofa and I sat near. The handkerchief could be yours, the tear could be mine, chin bound. Though it could be, of course, the other way around. I wish you were here, dear, I wish you were here. I wish we were in my car, and you'd shift the gear. We'd find ourselves elsewhere, on an unknown shore. Or else we'd repair to where we've been before. I wish you were here, dear, I wish you were here. I wish I knew no astronomy when stars appear, when the moon skims the water that sighs and shifts in its slumber. I wish it were still a quarter to dial your number. I wish you were here, dear, in this hemisphere, as I sit on the porch sipping a beer. It's evening; the sun is setting, boys shout and gulls are crying. What's the point of forgetting if it's followed by dying?

Help Dateline: 7/29/97 The death of a poet leaves a space like an unfinished poem. Joseph Brodsky’s death, as poetry regains its place in the cultural landscape of America, is tragic. Poetry’s reemergence, in many ways, is owed to him. What is it about this country that makes us such a draw 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? We’re 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. Brodsky himself was astonished at the lack of penetration the art had made in our society. When he became Poet Laureate in 1991, he kicked up some controversy by suggesting a wider distribution system for poetry. His ideas ranged from books of verse at supermarket checkout counters for some reason, he seemed especially confident that Emily Dickinson

About News Fellowships Fellows Donations ... 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.

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.

Bosnia Tune Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996), American poet of the Russian-Jewish origin, Nobel Prize laureate for literature in 1987. As you pour yourself a scotch, crush a roach, or check your watch, as your hand adjusts your tie, people die. In the towns with funny names, hit by bullets, cought in flames, by and large not knowing why, people die. In small places you don't know of, yet big for having no chance to scream or say good-bye, people die. People die as you elect new apostles of neglect, self-restraint, etc. - whereby people die. Too far off to practice love for thy neighbor/brother Slav, where your cherubds dread to fly, people die. While the statues disagree, Cain's version, history for its fuel tends to buy those who die. As you watch the athletes score, check your latest statement, or sing your child a lullaby, people die.

to a part. To his spoken part. To a part of speech." introducing readers to writers since 1995 October 02, 2004 "What gets left of a man amounts 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.
