GR – Yannis Stiggas – Opening Poem

This is the place gentlemen

Πολλές οργιές κάτω απ’ το τίποτα
έτσι
που τα μαλλιά μας μπλέκονται στις ρίζες του

υιέ μου υιέ μου Αβεσσαλώμ

σαν εκκρεμές δεν θα’ χες πέραση
έτσι κι αλλιώς εμείς
τον χρόνο τον εισάγουμε απ’ το Γκρίνουϊτς

γιατί ο δικός μας
έχει λαγούμια μαύρα κι ανεκπλήρωτα
φωνάζεις την αγάπη
και σου επιστρέφει ο αντίλαλος αιμόφυρτος

έχει μυριάδες χέρια που κοπήκανε
δεν ήταν αγαλμάτων
όλα τους
αργότερα μαρμάρωσαν

Yannis Stiggas (born 1977 in Athens, Greece) has published three collections of verse and his poems have also appeared in many magazines and anthologies. In 2007 he performed in the intothepill project in the Karaoke Poetry Bar in Athens. His poems impress with the power of their imagery and language. By opposing the internal and the external view, and abstract and sensual observations, his texts hover on the margins of perception.

Jen Hadfield (born 1978 in Cheshire, England) is the youngest winner ever of the prestigious T.S. Eliot Prize, which she was awarded in 2008 for her second collection, Nigh-No-Place when she was just 30. Her poems deal primarily with space, home and the environment, with her passion for the culture of the Shetland Islands, where she lives, having a strong influence on her work, perhaps unsurprisingly since she decided to live in such a solitary and remote place. Jen Hadfield is nevertheless always open to new influences and posts on the the blog http://rogueseeds.blogspot.com. She is currently working on her first novel and is also active in promoting reading and writing for the new creative generation.
