Joseph Brodsky Quotes
A collection of quotes by Joseph Brodsky.
Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996) was a Russian-American poet and essayist. Born in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), he emerged as a prominent figure in the Soviet literary scene of the 1960s. Known for his powerful and introspective poetry, Brodsky's works often explored themes of exile, loss, and the human condition. In 1972, he was exiled from the Soviet Union for his controversial writings. Later settling in the United States, he became a naturalized citizen and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1987. Brodsky's profound influence on poetry and his courageous pursuit of artistic freedom continue to resonate today.
