Orfeas Aper­gis (Athens, 1974) aspires to becom­ing the best Greek poet of the Eng­lish lan­guage. His pro­fes­sion is the writ­ing of Greek poet­ry and his hob­by the writ­ing of said poet­ry in Eng­lish, in obser­vance of the fact that, for those of us in the periph­ery, poet­ry is usu­al­ly what is found in trans­la­tion. He has been pub­lish­ing in Greek jour­nals since 2006. A vol­ume of his col­lect­ed poet­ry appeared in late 2011, under the title “Y”, a work he prefers to call a col­lec­ture, in oth­er words a genet­ic syl­lo­gism in lieu of a poet­ic col­lec­tion. Since poet­ry is mak­ing an appear­ance out of real­i­ty, he will be host­ing a cre­ative writ­ing work­shop at the con­tin­u­ing edu­ca­tion pro­gramme of Athens Col­lege, begin­ning in Sep­tem­ber 2012. The Anglo­script mate­ri­als pro­vid­ed on this web­site are from a pro­ject­ed uni­ty called Night Allowance.
