Summary

Josif Brodski: Station in the Desert

Selected Poems

The simplest answer follows the question of what is the material for Josif Brodski's verses: everything is material; everything is an incentive; everything excites him and he can "write verses" about everything. If we start from the traditional poetic repertoire, personal experiences and readings - we have barely covered a third of the reasons for that muted but permanently burning inspiration. When we go into the non-traditional reserves of motifs, where there are various sciences, from mathematics to history, then portraits of contemporaries (from girlfriends and friends to Marshal Žukov), then polemical and appropriate verses, and then we come across the verse: "man is alone like a thought that is forgotten", then we know that the poet is only a voice, a spokesperson for the language that expresses itself in that person and his existence. As a poet, Brodski belongs to that order of poets that we call rational, in whom thought and a constant focus on the solution of some deep question (unsolvable and also solvable) are far ahead of the occasionally ecstatic or more often muted expression of feelings and impressions. Brodsky is incredibly original in everything: be it the discovery of classicist predecessors or the innovation of strophe and theme, which is not a simple contribution in the Russian poetic treasury. Brodski illuminates each topic and subject from multiple angles and from multiple levels (from authorial and human to often metaphysical and otherworldly). Regularly, near the end of the poem, a justified, almost philosophical generalization is reached, in which the poet's cosmopolitan universalism is revealed, but far from contemporary hermetic individualism. The development of the thesis, through antitheses to the always effective point, is reminiscent of geometric constructions, although the verses are always fresh and sincere, and also simple for the unburdened reader.
