Abstract

The distribution of non-stressed intervals (the interval grid) is analyzed in 25 blank poems by Joseph Brodsky, which do not fit into the templates of classical accentual-syllabic meters. The poems are divided into groups according to interval grid structure. Metrical features of each group are described.
