Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: World Poets)
Joseph Aleksandrovich Brodsky was born in Leningrad on May 24, 1940. Brodsky's mother worked as a translator, an occupation her son was to take up as well; his father worked as a news photographer. During the German blockade of the city, Brodsky spent some time with his grandparents. He has recalled a somewhat later time of fear during the government-orchestrated anti-Semitic hysteria of 1953, when it seemed that his family might be "resettled" far from Leningrad. During these last years of Stalinism, Brodsky was an unenthusiastic student; he left school in 1955 to pursue independent studies in various languages and literatures. In 1956, he began learning Polish, a language that gave him access to Western literature not available in Russian; he recalled that he first read the works of Franz Kafka and William Faulkner in Polish translation, and he encountered the poetry of Czesaw Miosz, whom he called "one of the greatest poets of our time, perhaps the greatest."
The year 1956, when Brodsky was only sixteen, was crucial in establishing his sense of himself and of Russia. When Brodsky referred to himself as a member of the "generation of 1956," he had in mind the shock of recognition forced by the invasion of Hungary, a recognition of his status as a poet in a totalitarian state. If Brodsky saw Stalinism less as a political era than as a "state of mind," then the events of 1956, three years after the death of Stalin, proved the ugly...

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Born in Leningrad in 1940, Joseph Aleksandrovich Brodsky (BRAHD-skee) experienced the horrors of life at a very early age, for he was one of the few survivors of the nine-hundred-day siege of Leningrad (1941-1944). Throughout his childhood, he endured the hardships not only of postwar Russia but also of being Jewish in an anti-Semitic society. After dropping out of school at the age of fifteen, he worked at a variety of jobs while educating himself in Russian and comparative literature, the history of religion, philosophy, and foreign languages. Polish was among the first languages he learned, and in Polish he first read the works of Franz Kafka and William Faulkner. Brodsky began writing poetry in 1958 and soon found a place for himself in the literary circles of Leningrad. There he became a very close friend of the Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, who declared him to be "the most gifted poet of his generation."
If he was the most gifted, however, he quickly became one of the most oppressed. Throughout the early 1960's, the authorities denounced his poetry as pornographic and anti-Soviet. When Soviet officials refused to publish his poems, he began reciting them on street corners in his liturgical style and distributing his own copies of them. In January, 1964, he was arrested on charges of social parasitism and...

BY LIZA STROUT - Four children sat at the stern of the Boca Blue last Saturday afternoon, holding their breath with every radio transmission. Known as Team Gasparilla Outfitters, they were in the lead in the Gasparilla Island Kids Classic, and the excitement on the boat was palpable.
The kids had been tarpon fishing before, but it was 8-year-old Matt Waterhouse's first release that closed the deal for the victory. He is now in the record books as the youngest child to release a tarpon in that particular tournament. His older brother, Will, had put the team in the lead with the first one. From then on, it was a "wait-and-see" game with their little sister, 7-year-old Welyn, chanting for good luck, "We're winning ... we're winning."
Those two fish netted the team the Second Annual Gasparilla Island Kids Classic championship for 2012. Each of the children received Apple iPad 3 computer tablets.
"They were a perfect family to have fishing this tournament," said tournament organizer (and the team's captain) Capt. Sandy Melvin. "The whole point of this tournament was to get parents and kids to be involved, especially when it's for a good cause. That's what this is all about."
In all, 15 fish were caught and released during the tournament. The event raised $30,000 for Moffitt Cancer Center's "Families First" program. The young anglers, ages eight to 15, managed to catch and release their tarpon in an average of seven minutes.
"It was an impressive effort by the captains and the anglers," said Melvin. "It shows that these fish can be released before they are exhausted. If an eight-year-old can do it, anyone can. We had high expectations for this event and those expectations were more than exceeded. I couldn't be more proud and pleased with the participants. The focus of the event is sportsmanship, doing good for others and conservation. What I saw was exactly that. The fishing was tougher that I expected, but I had a great team of anglers. They were focused and excited and kept a positive attitude through the whole tournament."
Team Cradle, on Blaze with Capt. Waylon Mills, won second place. Nicholas Mostyn, Noah Shaffer, Luke Ellison and Quinn Moccow were the anglers on the team. Mostyn was the winner of the essay contest held by the tournament organizers for a chance to fish in the tournament.
Team Key Insurance Agency, aboard the Miss Sarah with Capt. Lamar Joiner, took third with the last tarpon released. Anglers Taylor Edwards and Austin Fogo released the last tarpon of the tournament.
The tournament began with all participating boats lined up in the waters in front of the Port Boca Grande Lighthouse and Museum. Everyone watched the presentation of the colors by the Lemon Bay ROTC, and Kaitland Stevens, a seventh grader from L.A. Ainger Middle School, sang the National Anthem. The Charlotte Warbirds flew in formation over the Pass as well. After a few words on the importance of conservation by local politician and former island resident Chauncey Goss, and the blessing of the fleet by Pastor Gary Beatty of the Boca Grande First Baptist Church, the tournament was on.
Boca Blue was the first boat to call "fish on" after about 30 minutes, followed in quick succession by releases by Faithful II and Phil-Jack. The tarpon were wily that day, with at least as many throwing the hook as making it to the boat.
When everyone headed in at 7:30 p.m., they were ready for a party after a great day of fishing ... and that is just what they got. The teams, along with their families, the organizers and many members of the community gathered in downtown Boca Grande to collect their prizes.
Melvin took to the stage to introduce Colton James, who sang his song "Brave Men" to honor the men and women of the armed forces. Lemon Bay High School ROTC members presented the colors during the song to a rousing ovation.
In a surprise gesture Melvin presented the ladies from Hudson's, who have done so much to raise money for Relay for Life this year, with a painting of the famous pink pump that stands in front of the store.
Melvin, who won a $1000 cash prize as the winning captain, donated his prize money back into the pot to put toward the donation to Families First. Patrick Waterhouse, the winning team's father, rounded out the amount sent to Moffitt with another $3,000 donation for an even $30,000.
Team Cradle, in second, each got an iPod Touch, and Capt. Mills received a $500 cash prize and a $500 labor certificate, all courtesy of Able's Marine.
Team Key Agency Insurance, in third, won Kindle Fires, and Capt. Lamar Joiner, Sr. received a YETI cooler and $250 from Barnichol Hardware.
Each angler who released a tarpon also received a trophy. William Waterhouse, Brendan Cutting, Colton Nagler, Riley Mizell, Luke Ellison, Autumn Shaffer, Matt Waterhouse, Ben Taylor, Austin Whiting, Cole Kelley, Tyler O'Donoghue, Andy Roman, Nick Mostyn, Devyn Main and Austin Fogo all received individual angler trophies.
Autumn Shaffer won the prize for first girl angler to release a tarpon. She won a sterling silver tarpon charm bracelet from Barbara Anne's Jewelry and a gift basket from Courtyard Hair.
William Waterhouse won the prize for the first boy angler to release a tarpon, a Backcountry spinning rod and reel including a tackle box courtesy of Fisherman's Edge in Grove City.
