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.
