Review # 1 was written on 2007-12-28 00:00:00 Karen Hirsch I have a copy of this because Mikhail Barishnikov was the speaker at my undergraduate convocation at the University of Toronto. He sent a signed copy of this book to each member of the graduating class; Brodsky had been a close friend of his, and he read part of the poem to us in his speech.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-14 00:00:00 Tim Gardner 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?
