1980. Bilingual. Translations read by Mark Strand. The poems on this recording come largely from Brodsky's second major poetry collection, A Part of Speech, including Brodsky's own translation of the title poem from that volume. Mark Strand, who remarks in his introduction that "the world seems... larger in Brodsky's poetry than in anyone else's now writing," offers a perceptive voice and pitch to his reading of the poems in English. Brodsky reads from the Russian in his mesmerizing dramatic style. Length: 59 min. |
