Brodsky's third volume in English combines two collections originally published in his native Russian as well as poetry written directly in English. Awarded the 1987 Nobel Prize in Literature "for an all-embracing authorship, imbued with clarity of thought and poetic intensity." "Enriches not only its native literature but that of the country in which a demonstrably great poet, an almost sublime intelligence, moves us and moves among us in the guise of another citizen." –Derek Walcott, The New York Review of Books
