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.

Gwenaëlle Stubbe (born 1972 in Brussels, Belgium) is a poet and performer. She takes part in various radio programmes and does readings in both French and Flemish. Her poems are like little stories starting in day-to-day things and quickly drifting into the surreal. She describes her own texts, which are often about men, as “a small revenge on one half of humanity”. On stage she is a lively performer whose voice, poise and movements accentuate the music of her language. Gwenaëlle Stubbe has lived in France since 2002.

Olga Ravn (born 1986 in Kopenhagen, Denmark) lives in Kopenhagen where she works as a poet and literary critic. Her first collection, the highly-praised Jeg æder mig selv som lyng (I devour myself like heather) was published in early 2012. This collection is primarily concerned with growing up, with the physical feelings involved, the expectations of others around one, with urgent love, sex and forbidden things. These topics are dealt with raw openness and nevertheless sensitivity in carefully constructed forms. Olga Ravn also works as an illustrator.
