poemakontsa: I want to read Joseph Brodsky's essay on Marina Tsvetaeva's letter/poem to Rilke written after his death in 1926. They call it a poem, but it is really a letter/seance addressing dead Rilke. They had broken their correspondence a little before his passing.

Bosnia Tune (1992)
As you pour yourself a scotch,
