Series II includes holograph and typescript drafts, proofs and printed versions of Brodsky's poetry, prose and other writings. Brodsky's early (pre-1972) poetry is documented sporadically, while the material for his poetry, prose and drama written after emigration (1972-1996) is far more complete. The Series includes material from works in progress at the time of Brodsky's death (e.g. So Forth) and for some posthumously printed works (e.g. Collected Poems in English, edited by Ann Kjellberg).
