Joseph Brodsky (recipient of 1987 Nobel Prize for Literature): that is not for me to claim. so far as i am involved, in my internal self, within, it feels relatively usual. i believe being a Russian poet and an American essayist is a perfect scenario. it is all an issue of even if you've got (a) the guts and (b) the brains in order to do either. occasionally i feel I do. occasionally i believe i do not. occasionally i feel that one interferes with the other.
