Please join us on Friday, September 30 at 7p.m for a Round Table Discussion devoted to Joseph Brodsky’s opus. During our fifth round-table talk, we are going to observe how Brodsky uses his own experience to expresses a universal motive of love and creation. In Brodsky’s poetry, his personal experience extends into the larger theme of radical change in the individual. He consciously and unconsciously unveils the human desire for creation and love. We will suggest that for Brodsky poetry being a part of cultural tradition provides human being with a living relation to himself, to his past and to his future. The universal character of Brodsky’s vision allows him to produce poetry that unites past and present, the temporal and the eternal. Round Table discussion is led by Elena Neznamova – Associate Professor, MA in Psychosocial Studies – Birkbeck University, Fulbright-Kennan Institute Research Scholar. (In English)
