Noon in the Room

For the first time after the death of Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996), three books of his selected poems are being published: «Night Flight», «Noon in the Room», and «View from the Hill». The subjective choice of the compiler is primarily the choice of an attentive and demanding reader, an attempt to build a personal «canon of Brodsky» and to reflect on each part in a brief afterword. The book «Noon in the Room» includes poems from 1972-1986, including those not included by the author in collections, published by the famous American publishing house «Ardis» and becoming the classical heritage of the great poet.
