Reviews

“Intimate variety. Regina Derieva is remarkable for the range of voices she deploys.”
—Les Murray

“Regina Derieva’s best poems are simultaneously elusive and immediate, striking and understated, personal and distanced. Few poets attempt such transformation in so few words.”
—Tim Liardet

“I've read Regina’s poems and found many of them very striking, particularly the newer ones. She’s a real metaphysical!”
—James Lasdun
