The Amaranth No. 9

Abstract

The survey concerns poets who are either based in New York City or live in the vicinity. The poets are quite different from one another, some are newly arrivals while others have lived most of their years in or around New York, some have published their books in Greece and others in New York, a couple write in traditional verse while the majority write in free verse. Yet, all of them write in Greek, on themes which touch (directly or by implication) upon both Greece and America and thus favors collage- tree leaves will easily fraternize with pop bottles and torn newsprint in a stream of water- and poetry which is a mirror of nature.
