Joseph Brodsky was a Russian poet and essayist of significant international stature who became a naturalized American. His lyric poetry and essays combine classical erudition, biblical references, and a deep knowledge of English and Polish poetry, reflecting extensive self-directed study and mastery of several languages. Conflict with the Soviet regime marked his career: persecuted by the authorities, he was expelled from the Soviet Union in 1972 and relocated to the United States through the intervention of writers such as W. H. Auden. In exile he pursued an academic career, teaching at universities including Yale, Cambridge and Michigan. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1987, an international recognition that solidified his place in the contemporary canon. His output includes collections of poetry in Russian and his own translations, as well as essays and plays, published in several languages and issued posthumously. Brodsky’s legacy remains linked to the combination of formal rigor and moral reflection, and to the voice of a writer who articulated personal experience, exile and literary tradition in texts widely translated and studied.
