Joseph Brodsky (1940-1996) is unquestionably the greatest poet to emerge from postwar Russia and one of the great minds of the last century.  After his expulsion from the Soviet Union in 1972, Brodsky transformed himself from a stunned and unprepared émigré into, as he himself termed it, "a Russian poet, an English essayist, and, of course, an American citizen."  In interviews from 1972 to 1995, Joseph Brodsky: Conversations covers the course of his exile. The last interview dates from just ten weeks before his death. In talks, he calibrates the process of his remarkable reinvention from a brilliant, brash, but decidedly provincial Leningrad poet to an international man of letters and an erudite Nobel Prize laureate.  Brodsky's poetry earned him a Nobel, and his essays won him awards and international acclaim. This volume shows that there was a third medium, in addition to poetry and essays, in which Brodsky excelled--the interview. Although he said that "in principle prose is simply spilling some beans, which poetry sort of contains in a tight pod," he nevertheless emerges as an extraordinary and inventive conversationalist. This volume includes not only his notable interviews that helped consolidate Brodsky's international reputation but also early and hard-to-find interviews in journals that have since disappeared. Cynthia L. Haven is a literary critic at the San Francisco Chronicle and a regular contributor to Times Literary Supplement, the Los Angeles Times Book Review, the Cortland Review, and Stanford Magazine. Her work also has been published in Civilization, the Washington Post, and the Georgia Review.

Fotofolio

When Richard Avedon died on October 1st, 2004, he left an extraordinary collection of photographs that spans two centuries and reflects an eye attuned equally to masterworks and mug shots. Few had seen the private collection with which he surrounded himself in his apartment on East 75th Street in New York. These photographs, assembled over five decades, are the subject of Eye of the Beholder: Photographs from the Collection of Richard Avedon, comprising five fully-illustrated volumes housed in a sturdy slipcase. Avedon knew a good photograph when he saw one. Though he was far more interested in making pictures than collecting them, he lived surrounded by photographs of every kind, from the exalted to the unknown. "Neurotic women" (his words) were among his particular interests, though his curiosity was vigorous and his pursuits could not be predicted. The photographs in Avedon's collection were acquired primarily by purchase, in some cases by gift. Several bear inscriptions of respect or affection from other artists, notably Jacques-Henri Lartigue and Henri Cartier-Bresson, photographers with whom he forged significant friendships. Avedon was also the first of only three people to purchase Diane Arbus's landmark portfolio A Box of Ten Photographs, a gesture that signaled so much to the artist that she re-titled his portfolio to include an eleventh print. Avedon's collections of portraits by Peter Hujar, of cigarette still lifes by Irving Penn, and of studies of the 19th century beauty, the Countess de Castiglione (1827-99), are unrivaled.
