baasanka's review against another edition
3.0
I adore Brodsky, but I really do prefer his "pre-immigration" poems - they just seem a bit simpler, raw, maybe more emotional. Of course this is a matter of personal taste, but if you are only familiar with Brodsky's earlier works, just be aware that his writing style changed quite a bit in the early 70s. I absolutely loved a couple of the poems in here, some were pretty good, but most I felt fairly indifferent towards.

I either didn’t like or didn’t get these poems. The very tight and direct rhymes clanged rather than sharpened.
