"Akhmatova discovered Brodsky to Russia, but I discovered him to the West," wrote George L. Kline, translator of the Nobel laureate's poems, Slavist, and professor of philosophy at Bryn Mawr College. Cynthia L. Haven's book is an account of Kline and Brodsky's work together, based on conversations with the translator and his personal archive. George Kline's recollections of the author of "Parts of Speech" and "Urania" cover the period from his acquaintance with the poet in 1967 and almost until Brodsky's death; some of the memoirist's testimonies are unique. The book introduces the reader to the circumstances surrounding the publication of Brodsky's first English-language collection, Selected poems, which significantly influenced his literary career in the West, and reconstructs the history of the subsequent relationship between the poet and the translator. The book additionally includes both poems by Brodsky and Thomas Venclova translated by George L. Kline, as well as several poetic greetings from the translator himself addressed to Brodsky. Cynthia L. Haven is a philologist, journalist, and author of "The Evolution of Desire. The Life of René Girard," published in UFO.
