Joseph Brodsky and a reading list
On March 30 one of the Academy’s most revered residents in literature, Joseph Brodsky, RAAR 1981 (1940-1996), was honored in London with the unveiling of a bust by the Russian sculptor Kirill Bobylev. The bust will be exhibited at Waterstones Piccadilly Russian Bookshop before being transferred to a permanent spot at Keele University in Staffordshire, UK.
The Academy instituted the fellowship in literature in 1952. The first recipient was the poet Anthony Hecht, FAAR 1952, RAAR 1969.
