Mikhail Yeryomin: Selected Poems 1957-2009Paperback, 11 November 2014

Yeryomin's 'miniatures' thrill by their fierce attention to natural details and by their startling, revelatory juxtapositions. In these deft, astute English translations by J. Kates, Yeryomin's clear-eyed vision arrives intact--luminous, precise, and bracing.--Cyrus Cassells

Yeryomin, whose name the Russians often mention next to Brodsky, has written the body of work that is inimitable in its scope and range; whose musical and metaphorical textures amaze one not just by what they say, but also what they withhold.--Ilya Kaminsky

Mikhail Yeryomin, born in 1936, lives in St. Petersburg, Russia.

J. Kates is a poet, literary translator, and the president and co-director of Zephyr Press.
