In Russia there is the good old tradition of sending a link of great poets.

In 1964, Joseph Brodsky Leningrad court verdict was exiled to the countryside Norenskaya where instead of five years awarded spent 18 months. In the famous “Dialogues with Brodsky” Solomon Volkov he called it the happiest time in my life. During his exile poet studied English poetry and actively writing his new poems (they even published in the local newspaper “Call”, as well as abroad). In addition, Brodsky was a mechanic helper on the farm, laborer and photographs shot by order of the village celebrations, did photos to documents – useful skills learned from his father and photographer.
