Overview: JOSEPH BRODSKY [Iosif Aleksandrovich Brodsky] (1940-1996) was a Russian and American poet and essayist.

A PART OF SPEECH
Poems from the years 1965-1978, translated by various hands.

DISCOVERY
A lovely, thought-provoking poem that Joseph Brodsky wrote in 1995 about the first discoverers of America—fish, birds, then man. But it is also about a land that even today is full of secrets waiting to be discovered. Illustrated in collage and gouache by Vladimir Radunsky, this poem is, finally, a celebration of our world—a world open to possibilities.

LESS THAN ONE: Selected Essays
This collection of essays thrusts Brodsky--heretofore known more for his poetry and translations--into the forefront of the "Third Wave" of Russian emigre writers. His insights into the works of Dostoyevsky, Mandelstam, Platonov, as well as non-Russian poets Auden, Cavafy and Montale are brilliant. The book, which won a National Book Critics Circle Award, opens and closes with revealing autobiographical essay.

NATIVITY POEMS
Christmas poems by the Nobel Laureate

ON GRIEF AND REASON: Essays
The Nobel-Prize-winning essayist and poet explores a variety of topics in burgeoning prose including the future of Europe, poets' lovers, the classic essay form, and the power of railway stations and landmarks to stir nostalgia and wanderlust.

SELECTED POEMS
An early (1973) anthology of Brodsky's poems in English.

SO FORTH: Poems
Brodsky's last volume of poems in English, So Forth represents eight years of masterful self-translation from the Russian, as well as a substantial body of work written directly in English.

TO URANIA: Selected Poems 1965-1985
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.

WATERMARK
In this brief, intense, gem-like book, equal parts extended autobiographical essay and prose poem, Brodsky turns his eye to the seductive and enigmatic city of Venice. A mosaic of 48 short chapters—each recalling a specific episode from one of his many visits there (Brodsky spent his winters in Venice for nearly 20 years)—Watermark associatively and brilliantly evokes one city's architectural and atmospheric character. In doing so, the book also reveals a subject—and an author—readers have never before seen.
