| Description | The Ballad of the Little Tugboat is a lyrical story by Joseph Brodsky, told from the perspective of a small harbour vessel that helps large ships enter the port. Within the monotony of shifts, changing weather, and the rhythm of the port city, one hears dreams of distant seas alongside a calm acceptance of its calling — to remain where it is needed. Beneath the apparent simplicity of the narrative lies a reflection on work, responsibility, loyalty to one’s place, and inner freedom. The tugboat never leaves its home pier, but its imagination opens an entire world of journeys. The poem was Brodsky’s debut publication in the Soviet press in 1962. Illustrations by Kasia Denisewicz add a sense of warmth and gentle melancholy to the text. |
