The author characterizes  the works of modern Russian, French, and Anglo-American poets based on their attitudes towards reality, time, space, and history revealed in their poetics. The author compares the work of major Russian innovative poets Osip Mandelstam, Velimir Khlebnikov, Vladimir Mayakovsky, and Joseph Brodsky with that of W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and, in spite of the postmodernist “estrangement” of reality, the author proves that similar traces can be found in the work of contemporary American poets John Ashbery and Charles Bernstein. Both affinities and drastic differences are revealed in the poets’ attitudes towards time-space, reality, and history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“I am reminded once again of Brodsky’s fine account of Anna Akhmatova’s ability to see the tragic events of her time ‘first through the prism of the individual heart, then through the prism of history’. What remains so striking about such a vision, continues Brodsky, is that ‘These two perspectives were brought into sharp focus through prosody, which is simply a repository of time within language’. Simply? Ian Probstein’s The River of Time offers the help we need to gauge the real complexity of that word ‘simply’.” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cb\u003e— Peter Nicholls, Textual Practice, Vol. 32.
