One of the leading poets of the New Formalist movement, Leo Yankevich is the author of five books of poetry, the first four of which are represented in The Unfinished Crusade: New and Selected Poems, published in 2000 by The Mandrake Press, Mill Valley, Cailfornia.
His poems have been praised for their "unabashed metrical and musical panache" by the American critic Dana Gioia, and for "their metaphysical intensity and historical accuracy" by the Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz, winner of the 1980 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Born in Pennsylvania in 1961, Yankevich has lived in Gliwice, Poland, since 1984.
