Mikhail Yeryomin is a Russian multi-author or collaborative poetry volume from Russia, associated with J Kates, Mikhail Yeryomin, translated by Jim Kates, and published by White Pine Press in 2014. It is a Russian selected or author-focused volume centered on Mikhail Yeryomin’s dense, elusive, and formally compact poetry. The book’s value is in giving English readers access to a poet whose work often rewards patience over immediate clarity. I would not ask the reader to solve this book before feeling it. The better invitation is to start with the image that will not quite explain itself, then follow the pressure of cadence, silence, and address. For this library, the book matters as more than a representative entry from Russia. It gives English-language readers another route into how poetry travels: not as a tidy report from elsewhere, but as a living encounter with local weather, historical pressure, and the privacy of a voice.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
