Joseph Brodsky. Life in the USA (Иосиф Бродский. Жизнь в Америке)

Joseph Brodsky left for the United States with the help of Carl Ra Proffer and the poet Auden, where he settled in Ann Arbor. While there, he became a resident poet at the University of Michigan for a year. From 1973 to 1974, Joseph Brodsky was a Visiting Professor at Queens College, Cambridge University, Columbia University and Smith College. Joseph Brodsky returned to the University of Michigan, where he taught from 1974 to 1980. Joseph Brodsky also taught at the Mount Holyoke College as the Andrew Mellon Professor of Literature and Five College Professor of Literature.

Joseph Brodsky became the fifth Russian writer to receive the Nobel Peace for Literature. After receiving Joseph Brodsky was asked in an interview, "You are an American citizen who is receiving the Prize for Russian-language poetry. Who are you, an American or a Russian?" and he responded, "I'm Jewish; a Russian poet, an English essayist – and, of course, an American citizen".
9 июля 1972 года Бродский переезжает в США и принимает пост «приглашённого поэта» в Мичиганском университете в городке Энн-Арбор с окладом 12 тысяч долларов (что по тем временам было немало). Там он преподаёт с перерывами до 1980 года.
