Corinthian copper, by Regina Derieva and translated by Jamey Gambrell from Russian, brings Russian-language poetry from Russia into English through Regina Derieva’s Russian copper, liturgical shimmer, and a mineral lyric charged with spiritual endurance. The metadata gives the reader a doorway, but the real value is what happens once the poem starts making its own weather. I would read it for copper, prayer, mineral, and the hard shine of faith under pressure, not as a fixed lesson about Russia. The best entry point is still the poem itself: the line that catches, the image that refuses to explain itself, the feeling that arrives before paraphrase. Corinthian copper belongs in the translated poetry library because it adds a Russian voice of exile, devotion, and compressed radiance.
