This Old Poem #55: The Poets Laureate Special Edition #8: Joseph Brodsky 's Törnfallet Joseph Brodsky is a perfect example of a mediocrity that got acclaim elsewhere who cruised to American renown. His poems in English are utter doggerel, while his ‘translations’ of his own Russian poems, while slightly better, show no original thoughts nor experimentation with form, sound, nor idea. In short he is a cardboard cutout of what a poet should be- at least to Academia. Joseph Brodsky was born in Leningrad on May 24, 1940. He left school at the age of fifteen, taking jobs working in a morgue, a mill, a ship's boiler room, and a geological expedition. During this time Brodsky taught himself English and Polish and began writing poetry. He was exiled from the Soviet Union in 1972 after serving 18 months of a five-year sentence in a labor camp in northern Russia. According to Brodsky, literature turned his life around. "I was a normal Soviet boy," he said. "I could have become a man of the system. But something turned me upside down: [Fyodor Dostoevsky's] Notes from the Underground . I realized what I am. That I am bad." He studied with the beloved Russian poet Anna Akhmatova and, after his exile, moved to America, where he made homes in both Brooklyn and Massachusetts.

Joseph Alexandrovich Brodsky was born in Leningrad on May 24, 1940, though he detested the name of that city which was called Peter in everyday parlance. His family lived in one and a half rooms of a communal apartment shared by six families. Brodsky wrote that three people living in one and a half rooms was typical for a Soviet family of that time. His father, Alexandr Ivanovich Brodsky ( ), was a journalist and newspaper photographer, and served in the navy after WWII. The War began for him in Finland in 1940, and ended in China in 1948. During that period he escorted naval convoys in the Barents Sea, took part in the defence and subsequent evacuation of Sevastopol in the Black Sea, joined a body of marines when his ship was sunk, and took part in the breaking through of the blockade. His mother, Maria Moiseevna Volpert ( ) was unable to mask her petty bourgeois origins and had to give up all hope of getting college education. She spent her entire working life in routine jobs as a secretary or book-keeper.
