Diasporic travel writing,as a specific literary form,reflects writers'depiction of space and their quest for identity in a cross-cultural context.The geographical displacement of diasporic writers often engenders cross-cultural interactions.The landscapes depicted in literary works are more than background representations of space;rather,they embody the author's textual reimagining of spatial constructs and serve as an artistic manifestation of the diasporic writer's identity.Joseph Brodsky,a Russian American writer,presents not only a panoramic view of Venice in Watermark when wavering between different languages and genres as a Russian poet and American essayist,but also paints a text-based version of Venice.This establishes for him a living aesthetic that helps eliminate prejudice against diasporic writers and allows him to merge into a broader cultural background.This paper analyzes Watermark through the lens of textual space of literary geographic criticism,trying to explore the Third Space and its interactions with trans-cultural writing in Brodsky's work.The analysis aims to demonstrate that the identity of the diasporic writer is confirmed through space based on psychological projection rather than geographical distance.
