Chronos Dines Alone

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.)
