Out at last: FROM THE CYCLOPS CAVE: A BRAIDED MEMOIR

A story that intertwines past and present,
weaving a turbulent childhood in 1950s California
with an adult life shaped by solitude
on the Cycladic islands of Greece

More from the Serres Festival

What a wonderful two days of poetry, music and dance at the Third International Serres Poetry Festival. Warm thanks to Tryantafillos Kotopoulos, Isidora Malama and the many others who put on the events at the spacious Kronio Theater and in the warm blue light of the Zinzirli Mosque.

I'm delighted to be participating tomorrow and Saturday in the 3rd International Poetry Festival of Serres, Greece. This year the festival is honoring the centenary of Mikis Theodorakis' birth.

A pleasure hearing Thanos Giannoudis, Martha Vasiliadi and Sofia Potari read and talk about Thanos’ translations of Four Poets on the Threshold of Modernism. And what a delight that they invited me—quite unexpectedly!—to read a couple in the original English. Thanks too Mythistoria Bookstore.

My Savior...

After...

My latest hospital adventure at Agio Louka (Thessaloniki):
Before.

Many thanks to the Circle of Poetry and all the wonderful poets who read at this year's World Poetry Festival for an amazing four days of hope and dreams.

Wish I could be there...
