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.

About Joseph Brodsky

Joseph Brodsky (1940–1996) was born in Leningrad, USSR. In 1964 Soviet authorities convicted him of "social parasitism" and sentenced him to five years of hard labor in the Arkhangelsk region; international pressure secured his release in 1965. Expelled from the USSR in 1972, he settled in the United States and taught at the University of Michigan and Mount Holyoke College. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1987 and served as Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress from 1991 to 1992. His English-language collections include A Part of Speech (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1980) and To Urania (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1988).
