It is often said that the Russian poet Joseph Brodsky "sounds English" when he writes in Russian, yet, it is far from clear what this statement really means. Using evidence from a variety of disciplines, this book investigates the form and semantic aura of Brodsky's experimental rhythm and proposes a new approach to analyzing poetic innovation.
