The books, taken together, illustrate the fractures as well as the friendship between the poets and the literary spheres in which they moved. Gross describes Brodsky counseling and calming Zbigniew Herbert, who had penned "Khodasevich," the poem that dynamited Herbert's friendship with Miłosz. She also chronicles the time Miłosz confronted Brodsky's imperial arrogance at an international literary conference in 1988, teaming with Sontag, Derek Walcott, Salman Rushdie and others to take on Brodsky.
