His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The Hopkins Review, Measure, The Stockholm Review of Literature, and elsewhere.

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.)
