From the publisher

This intimate portrayal of the friendship between two icons of twentieth-century poetry, Czeslaw Milosz and Joseph Brodsky, highlights the parallel lives of the poets as exiles living in America and Nobel Prize laureates in literature. To create this truly original work, Irena Grudzinska Gross draws from poems, essays, letters, interviews, speeches, lectures, and her own personal memories as a confidant of both Milosz and Brodsky. The dual portrait of these poets and the elucidation of their attitudes toward religion, history, memory, and language throw a new light on the upheavals of the twentieth-century. Gross also incorporates notes on both poets' relationships to other key literary figures, such as W. H. Auden, Susan Sontag, Seamus Heaney, Mark Strand, Robert Haas, and Derek Walcott.

First line

In his study of the activities of a group of followers of William Harvey who pursued, during the decades between 1640 and 1690, a cluster of unsolved problems made prominent by Harvey's discovery of the circulation of the blood, Robert Frank wrote in 1980 that the older historians of science had tended to treat only the "products" of past developments: that is, the explanations reached for the phenomena examined.
