A never-before-published poem for children by the Nobel laureate
In the beginning there were just waves
hammering at the obstacles . . .
So begins a lovely, thought-provoking poem that Joseph Brodsky wrote in 1995. It is about the first discoverers of America -- fish, birds, then man. But it is also about a land that even today is full of secrets waiting to be discovered. Illustrated in collage and gouache by Vladimir Radunsky, this poem is, finally, a celebration of our world -- a world open to possibilities.

Discovery
In the beginning there were just waves hammering at the obstacles
America first was discovered by fish
Then birds discovered America
Yet they were just pilgrims
Nature played prudent: on one hand
America would exist: on the other hand, it wouldn't
When you are a continent, you don't mince words and don't crave attention
So then Nature sat down and picked up her pen to make what fish and seagull saw a reality:
Off sailed men and make America legal
They settled it with their many laws, their cities, their farms, their money
Don't you think that this land still has a few secrets?
That, huge and silent
It waits for their being discovered by you
Since Nature is out on assignment?
