The Importance of Peeling Potatoes in Ukraine (2008)
The poems in his new collection approach questions of suffering and
atrocity (e.g., war, genocide, fallen soufflés) with discerning humor
and unconventional comedy. These poems show how humor can be taken as
seriously as straight-ahead solemnity and how we can re-envision
solemnity in terms other than lamentation, protest, and memorial.

The Making of Collateral Beauty (2006)
This small volume is both companion to and
descendant of Yakich's award-winning Unrelated Individuals Forming a
Group Waiting to Cross. Each poem here shares a title with a poem in
the previous book. Each expands on its namesake poem, giving the
background, but a background you've never imagined! When a poet as vital
and innovative as Yakich is telling the story behind the poem, the
vignettes and characters that emerge from behind the scenes are as
exuberant and playful as the originals.
