Joseph Brodsky wrote about Derieva's poetry: "The real authors here are poetry and freedom themselves." Tomas Venclova (Professor of Slavic Languages and Literature at Yale University. Contributor to The New York Review of Books and The New Republic) wrote: "The poetry of Regina Derieva is an outstanding and unusual phenomenon. It corresponds to the poetical experience of Mandelstam, Tsvetaeva and Brodsky, and at the same time keeps pace not only with contemporary Russian but also perhaps world literature.

Joseph Brodsky wrote about Derieva's poetry: "The real authors here are poetry and freedom themselves." Tomas Venclova (Professor of Slavic Languages and Literature at Yale University. Contributor to The New York Review of Books and The New Republic) wrote: "The poetry of Regina Derieva is an outstanding and unusual phenomenon. It corresponds to the poetical experience of Mandelstam, Tsvetaeva and Brodsky, and at the same time keeps pace not only with contemporary Russian but also perhaps world literature. Regina Derieva is a modern poet who employs not only traditional but also free verse. Yet she writes out of time, or rather, in the time of the Old Testament and Revelation. While reading Regina Derieva's poems, it occurred to me that tradition is something greater than only poetic tradition. Her poetic creations call to mind the Word -- Psalms and Prophets, and especially the parables of the Gospels. Following elevated models, Regina Derieva sets in motion secret resources of speech, discovering its paradoxical nature. Lively beat of dictionary, unexpected substitution of notions and interchange of bitterly re-interpreted quotations give her poetry profundity, and quite often, epigrammatical precision. Her images are rather capricious and elusive, at first sight even accidental; but this is deceptive accidention, which is only the other side of necessity."
Regina Derieva (b. 1949) is an acclaimed Russian poet and writer. She has published twenty books of poetry, essays, and prose, and her work has been translated into many languages, including English, French, Swedish, Chinese, Italian, and Arabic. Derieva's poems have appeared in Poetry, Quadrant, Modern Poetry in Translation, Salt, Cross Currents, Poetry East, St. Petrsburg Review, Ars Interpres, Notre Dame Review, as well as in many Russian magazines. She has translated poetry by contemporary American, Australian, British, Swedish, and Polish poets. In 2003, Derieva has been awarded the Shannon Fellowship of the International Thomas Merton Society. Regina Derieva currently lives in Sweden.
