Joseph Brodsky: Epitaph for a Centaur, Six Years Later

Hosted By: YIVO

YIVO, Poetry in America, and COJECO host a panel discussion and screening of a 25-minute film on Joseph Brodsky, the celebrated Russian-Jewish American writer and Nobel Laureate. The film highlights Brodsky’s identity, belonging, and the passage of time through the analysis of his poems “Epitaph for a Centaur” and “Six Years Later,” examining the complex U.S.-Russia relations during the Cold War. It also explores Brodsky’s multifaceted identity as Russian, American, and Jewish through the symbolic figure of the centaur, delving into the political undertones and intricate language of his poetry.
