Winner of the 2002 Tupelo Press Dorset Prize, this magical book
of poems written by a Russian immigrant who came to America only a
few years ago without knowing a single word of English, draws
readers in ineluctably. Although a recent arrival, Kaminsky's ear
for the music in English is better than most poets born here. As
readers quickly realize upon opening the book, Kaminsky's poetry
isn't just beautiful-it is unforgettable.
An undisputed rising poetic star, Ilya Kaminsky was born in
Odessa, former Soviet Union. He has already received the Ruth Lilly
fellowship from "Poetry "magazine and was the youngest person
appointed Writer in Residence at Phillips Exeter Academy. Kaminsky,
who is also almost totally deaf, will finish his law degree at the
University of California in 2004.
