Born in Moscow, Russia, Anton Yakovlev is a graduate of Harvard University currently living in the New York metropolitan area. He is the author of "Ordinary Impalers" (Kelsay Books, 2017) and two prior chapbooks. His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The Hopkins Review, Measure, The Stockholm Review of Literature, and elsewhere. ""In these unsparing, unsettling, sometimes surreal poems, he makes us feel what it's like to be alive in our time-grappling with fear, grief, bewilderment, chaos, and brute contingency. These poems are a rare hybrid of intelligence and imagination. Yakovlev is a unique talent in American poetry,"" writes Jennifer Franklin, the author of "No Small Gift" (Four Way Books.)
