Poetry. "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
