Today, Brodsky's personality, like his poetry, evokes conflicting feelings. Brodsky's lyric poetry is distinguished by its complex syntax and species diversity. Among the most important features of Brodsky's lyrics, it should be noted the appeal to a large number of poetic and non-poetic forms, the desire to discover more and more new forms for poetry and to adapt traditional ones. In the formation of these various genres, the possibilities of interaction between the poet and language, the poet and artistic reality, the specific features of the development of the poetic system as a whole are especially clearly visible.
