In addition to the justly celebrated lecture he gave on receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1987, the volume includes essays on the condition of exile, the nature of history, the art of reading, and the idea of the poet as an inveterate Don Giovanni, as well as an homage to Marcus Aurelius and an appraisal of the case of the double agent Kim Philby. The title essay is a consideration of the poetry of Robert Frost, and the book also includes a fond appreciation of Thomas Hardy, a 'Letter to Horace', a close reading of Rilke's poem 'Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes', and a memoir of Stephen Spender. Among the other essays are Brodsky's open letter to Czech President Vaclav Havel and his 'immodest proposal' for the future of poetry, an address he delivered while serving as US Poet Laureate.''
