Discovery
A never-before-published poem for children by the Nobel laureate In the beginning there were just waves hammering at the obstacles . . . So begins a lovely, thought-provoking poem that Joseph Brodsky wrote in 1995. It is about the first discoverers of America -- fish, birds, then man. But it is also about a land that even today is full of secrets waiting to be discovered. Illustrated in collage and gouache by Vladimir Radunsky, this poem is, finally, a celebration of our world -- a world open to possibilities.

Discovery by Joseph Brodsky with drawings by Radunsky
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
What a feast of imagination! My daughter (7) really enjoyed that book. Now she is in the middle of her own discovery of New York but her eyes were opened even wider by the book. Such a delight to have Joseph Brodsky addressing young children. I'm ashamed to call Radunsky's work illustrations. The book was created by what journalists call "fresh pair of eyes," even two pairs! Thanks for the book.
