In memory of Josef Brodsky

A talk by Russian poet Aleksandar Levashov about the Brodsky’s museum in St Petersburg will be held in Russian as part of the Russian language mini-seminars "Culture and Society in Modern Russia" ("Культура и общество современной России").

The presentation will be followed by a reading of Brodsky’s poems and Aleksandar Levashov’s own poetry.

Josef Brodsky (1940, Leningrad – 1991, New York) was awarded the 1987 Nobel Prize in Literature "for an all-embracing authorship, imbued with clarity of thought and poetic intensity". He was appointed United States Poet Laureate in 1991.
