That day was the 100th anniversary of the birth of Hyam Plutzik (1911-1962), an American poet who died just as his book-length poem "Horatio" became a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Brodsky was so impressed with "Horatio" that he translated sections of it into Russian and presented in on stage in Moscow during the 1980s. Wesleyan University Press has just published a new edition of Plutzik's <i>Apples from Shinar</i>, which includes excerpts from "Horatio."

It is that they are plain and straightforward.
