His collections include The Drawn Apple (DL, Moscow, 1990), The Switchboard(IMA-Press, Moscow, 1991), Disposable Birds (NLO, Moscow, 2009), The Second Apple (J-Press, New York, 2000), Days Are Getting Longer (TTFA, Moscow, 2013), and Alef-Bet: Numbers, Forms and Nominations (NLO, Moscow 2018) which received a prize known as Moskovsky Schyot diploma. His work has appeared in literary journals and leading poetry anthologies such as 20th Century Russian Poetry, Crossing Century: The New Russian Poetry and Third Wave, and has been translated into over 15 languages. He now lives in New York dividing his time between poetry and projects at Textonica, а digital incubator and interactive books publishing company he created.
