On Grief and Reason

The essays here, collected posthumously, were mostly written during the period after Brodsky was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1987. Included is his groundbreaking title essay on Robert Frost, in which Brodsky interprets the terror inherent in Frost`s prosody; an inspiring graduation address given at the University of Michigan; and pieces about Thomas Hardy and other poets.
