Re: I wish you were here, dear - Joseph Brodsky

I've always enjoyed the depth of Joe's work, never ever observed his ego in his poetry?

The poetry warrior is gradually hanging up his battle axe, and finally retires?

Tutorial Years

Dear Tom

Are you trying to spoil my fun with George? We never let the truth interfere with a good story or bad poetry. Men in Eden the tutorial years, man hasn't changed much in the 100,000 years.

Thanks for your instruction, but accuracy is not what I'm striving for.

Cheers
