Description
Joseph Brodsky's Watermark is a witty and elegant portrait of Venice, capturing its magnificence and beauty through every aspect of the city.
Brodsky reflects with great poetic force on how time affects both the city and its inhabitants, recalling his own memories of the place he called home for many winters. He also remembers friends, lovers, and enemies, weaving a moving and intelligent narrative that is both funny and profound.
