Life
Joseph Brodsky was born in Leningrad, the Soviet Union (now Saint Petersburg, Russia), and worked as a poet, essayist and translator. He was arrested in 1964 and sentenced to five years at hard labor in the Arkhangelsk region of northern Russia. During his exile Brodsky was published in the United States, and many of the author’s colleagues in the West worked for his release. He was set free in 1965 but was expelled from Russia seven years later, after which he settled in the United States. He taught there at several universities and was named Poet Laureate of the United States in 1991.
Work
Joseph Brodsky began writing poetry at the age of 18. His poetry was inspired by Russian predecessors such as Alexander Pushkin and Boris Pasternak, but also by British poets such as John Donne and W.H. Auden. His forced exile affected Brodsky’s writing, both linguistic and thematically. In Chast’ rechi (1977) (A Part of Speech), he describes how he gradually loses hair, teeth, consonants and verbs. A recurring theme in the Brodsky’s poems is the relationship between the poet and society. For Brodsky, literature and language are important tools in the development of society, something that develops human thinking.
作品
约瑟夫-布罗茨基18岁时开始写诗。他的诗歌受到俄罗斯前辈的启发，如亚历山大-普希金和鲍里斯-帕斯捷尔纳克，但也受到英国诗人约翰-多恩和W.H.奥登的启发。他的被迫流亡影响了布罗茨基的写作，包括语言上和主题上。在Chast' rechi (1977) (A Part of Speech)中，他描述了自己如何逐渐失去头发、牙齿、辅音和动词。布罗茨基诗歌中反复出现的一个主题是诗人和社会之间的关系。对布罗茨基来说，文学和语言是社会发展的重要工具，是发展人类思维的东西。
