Loneliness cubes a man at random. This wasn't as transportive as the earlier collections I enjoyed. One of my favorite anecdotes from the Brodsky biography was that he and John Le Carre were having lunch when Brodsky was informed that he'd won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Brodsky feigned nonchalant. There's a grace in that moment. This collection hovers about Venice, the parallels it strikes with St Petersburg, a miasma of modernism crashing onto tradition and expulsion. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Combining two books of verse that were first published in his native Russian, "To Urania" was Brodsky's third volume to appear in English. Published in 1988, the year after he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, this collection features pieces translated by the poet himself and others, as well as poems written originally in English. Auden once characterized Brodsky as "a traditionalist . . . interested in what lyric poets of all ages have been interested in . . . encounters with nature . . . reflections upon the human condition, death, and the meaning of existence." Reading the poems in "To Urania"--by turns cerebral, caustic, comic, and celebratory--we appreciate firsthand a great lyric poet's variety and achievement. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
