Иосиф Бродский и Анна Ахматова: В глухонемой вселенной / Joseph Brodsky and Anna Akhmatova: Amidst a Deaf-Mute Universe

Institute for International Liberal Education and Bard Abroad Present

Иосиф Бродский и Анна Ахматова: В глухонемой вселенной / Joseph Brodsky and Anna Akhmatova: Amidst a Deaf-Mute Universe

Monday, February 1, 2021
Online Event
11:00 am – 12:00 pm EST/GMT-5
A book presentation by Denis Akhapkin (Associate Professor, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences (Smolny) of St. Petersburg University)
Join via Zoom

Бродский и Ахматова - знаковые имена в истории русской поэзии. В нобелевской лекции Бродский назвал Ахматову одним из «источников света», которым он обязан своей поэтической судьбой. Встречи с Ахматовой и ее стихами связывали Бродского с поэтической традицией «серебряного века». Оба они были не только поэтами, но и чуткими читателями и отголоски их бесед о великих книгах звучат во многих стихах Бродского. 

Петербургский филолог Денис Ахапкин рассматривает в своей книге эпизоды жизни и творчества двух поэтов, показывая глубинную взаимосвязь между двумя поэтическими системами. Жизненные события причудливо преломляются сквозь призму поэтических строк, становясь фактами уже не просто биографии, а литературной биографии —и некоторые особенности ахматовского поэтического языка хорошо слышны в стихах Бродского. Книга сочетает разговор о судьбах поэтов с разговором о конкретных стихотворениях и их медленным чтением.

This event will be presented in Russian. 

English description:

Brodsky and Akhmatova are significant names in the history of Russian poetry. In his Nobel lecture, Brodsky called Akhmatova one of the "sources of light," to whom his poetic fate is indebted. Meetings with Akhmatova and her poems connected Brodsky with the poetic traditions of the "Silver Age." They were both not only poets, but also keen readers. The results of their conversations about great books are present in Brodsky's poems. 

In his book, Petersburg philologist Denis Akhapkin examines the creative spirit and episodes from the poets' lives, showing the deep relationship between two poetic systems. Life events are bizarrely refracted through the prism of verse, becoming facts of not just a biography, but a literary biography. Some features of Akhmatova's poetic language  are present in Brodsky's poetry. The book combines a conversation about the poets' fate with a discussion about specific poems and reading them slowly.
