Joseph Brodsky is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Nobel Prize-winning poet and US Poet Laureate
Persecuted and tried for 'social parasitism' in the USSR, Brodsky was expelled from his homeland in 1972 and settled in the United States, writing luminous poetry in both Russian and English. His work earned the 1987 Nobel Prize in Literature, and he later served as U.S. Poet Laureate. He was born to a Jewish family in Leningrad.
