Brodsky and Akhmatova are iconic names in the history of Russian poetry. In his Nobel lecture, Brodsky referred to Akhmatova as one of the "sources of light" to whom he owed his poetic destiny. Encounters with Akhmatova and her poems connected Brodsky with the poetic tradition of the Silver Age.
St. Petersburg philologist Denis Akhapkin examines episodes from the lives and works of the two poets in his book, demonstrating the deep interconnection between the two poetic systems. Life events are intricately refracted through the prism of poetic lines, becoming facts not just of biography, but of literary biography - and some features of Akhmatova's poetic language are clearly audible in Brodsky's verses. The book combines discussions of the poets' fates with discussions of specific poems and their slow reading.
