Today the Wall Street Journal published a fine article on poet Joseph Brodsky, who received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1987 and served as U.S. Poet Laureate in 1991 and 1992. The article, by Len Aron, is a review of “Josephy Brodsky: A Literary Life” by Lev Loseff, but also serves as a wonderful introduction to Brodsky and his poetry.

I particularly like Brodsky’s response to the judge’s question about being a poet.
