Watermark by Joseph Brodsky

Watermark by Joseph Brodsky

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.

Brodsky writes in Watermark that water stores our reflections for when we are long gone. This re-issued edition of one of Brodsky's most important titles, on the occasion of the late Nobel laureate's 80th birthday, allows the reader to visit the canals of Brodsky's Venice and re-discover the reflection of the writer himself.

Brodsky, Joseph: - Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996) came to the United States in 1972, an involuntary exile from the Soviet Union. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1987 and served as Poet Laureate of the United States in 1991 and 1992.
