Letters to Yakub

Author: Gleb Shulpyakov

Translator: Christopher Mattison

Publisher: Canarium Books (2014)

"Shulpyakov is not only the inheritor of a great tradition and anti-tradition of Russian poetry, but also a new internationalist who understands the value of the local, of the immediate. This poet will mark his time. He is one of the handful of poets writing now I would confidently term 'a poet of genius.'"

—John Kinsella
