"OK, to be fair, I probably would've have given any smaller collection of Brodsky at least three stars. This was a lesson learned: don't EVER try to read someone's entire collected poems all at once. UGH. This was like 500 pages, and anybody's voice after 500 pages starts to grate. OK, maybe not anybody. Maybe it was just Brodsky. Maybe, for one's emotional wellbeing, he just needs to be ingested in small doses like meds... I haven't been reading poetry (outside of what may have been assigned here and there in lit classes along the way) for very long and this was part of an effort at experiencing some different types of poetry, so another thing I learned about myself is that I much prefer unrhymed (and free verse) poetry. After about halfway through, anytime a poem started with rhymes (which didn't always work well b/c of translation issues), I would just sigh.
"I need quite a bit of time with this collection. This was my first exposure to Brodsky. I completely enjoyed it. But I wonder what his Russian poems are like. I wonder how much better he is in Russian."
