Joseph Brodsky »

 Collected Poems in English, 1972-1999

Poems by Brodsky are just wonderful. Trying to find words to describe or assess them would damage them. I regret not to be able to read them in Russian.

Excerpts »

I read this book because I heard it served as a travel guide to Venice, instead of that Brodsky offers us a very poetical book about what the city meant for him, how his understanding of the city grew through the years, coupled with his understanding of the human soul: why we seek endlessly for beauty, and where that takes us. This book turns out to be essentially about poetry, and what we should expect from art, and thus from life. I think it is wonderful.
/Gabriel Campero, 23, Venezuela
