Poet's Biography

As a bio is just a bio, and I've done plenty of them, this is my first poetry bio. It is to introduce that lately I've been writing poetry - and even earlier, before, for a decade or more. It brings with it how I would like to introduce my poetry to people. Although there was plenty of time between writing and rest, between writing when none of it was deemed good (my own self-criticism), now it doesn't daunt me. Nevertheless, it is actually useful as creative expression and to bear witness to my own life and life content.

I mean as well that if someone, even one person, was impressed with my poetry (I showed Katerina Protopsaltis), that would be entirely significant. The appreciation from publishers Chipmunka is entirely significant. But without mentorship or support, of course, battling on my own, it's something I do: writing sporadically, spontaneously. It reaches a level, and I ask, why was I writing?

Anyway, the relationship with the pen is precarious. Enough time to write? About it? Everything? But I try to fit words into prose (not real poetry), and it syncs on its own. These are not mere haiku.

Into creation, and not symmetry, but words adjoined to express - that's a cause, I suppose. I was listening to Lou Reed the other night. I'm privileged to even know about his artistic self, and sense is a sense; it really appeals to me - the act of creating through creativity, and the fruit it bears.
