Regina Derieva

Regina Derieva (Russian: Регина Иосифовна Дериева) (born 1949) is a Russian poet and writer who has published twenty books of poetry, essays, and prose. Derieva currently lives in Sweden.

Derieva's work has been translated into several languages, including English, Swedish, Arabic, French, and Italian. A compact disc with her readings in Russian of selected poems was issued in 1999. Derieva's work has appeared in the "Poetry" magazine, "Modern Poetry in Translation", "Poetry East", "The Liberal", "Ars Interpres", "Salt Magazine", "Quadrant", " Notre Dame Review", as well as in many Russian magazines.

She has translated poetry by Thomas Merton and contemporary American, Australian, British, Polish, and Swedish poets. In 2003, Derieva was awarded the Shannon Fellowship of the International Thomas Merton Society.

Derieva's poetry is strongly affected by her Catholic faith. In 1996, a significant Italian composer and organist, Fra Armando Pierucci, composed a cantata for the series of Regina Derieva's poems "Via Crucis". [ [http://www.divine-art.com/CD/27002info.htm pilgrims star 27002 Via Crucis ] ]

Her most recent book of poems in English translation, "Alien Matter: New and Selected Poems", was released in 2006 by the New York City-based publisher Spuyten Duyvil.
