Joseph Brodsky, the Nobel Prize winning writer and thinker was exiled from Russia largely for being a truth-telling poet and for being Jewish. W.H. Auden helped him get situated in America and he became the first ever American poet-laureate. This poem is a heart-breaking lament for all those separated by long, sometimes permanent distance and involuntary separation. In my heart, I’m thinking of all of the innocent civilians whose lives have been upended and worse, ended, by the powers and circumstances that surround them.
