Correction: Josef Brodsky was in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the early 70's. He went to Ardis Press to publish his works, he got a teaching gig at U-M and he made much use of the School of Dentistry. The Gulag diet had ruined his teeth, according to his autobiographical writings. By the '80s, he won the Nobel prize and was in New York City. I knew an English prof at U-M who remembered him.
