Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have written 9 books on market.
I was born in Athens Greece.
I study medicine and I write poetry, essays and sort stories.
My poetry published collections books are: “This earth called Spring”, “Amphorae’s of the sea” , “In the garden with the sky” , “Painting the day”, “Those, which was spent on a dolphin”.
I had collaborated with numerous of literary journals by publishing poems and essays.
I taught poetry for years, but to tell you the trough poetry is a personal matter…
With the essays is different. But it is a theme for different discussion I thought!
As for myself, I really enjoy hot chocolate cups when I am writing, laud classical music and in the midterms the arias of Placido Domingo! I like to write in public places, prefer all the coffee shop (you understand well enough: coffee is my pleasure!) and I like long long conversations and argumentation!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book “Those, which was spent on a dolphin” LULU-USA PUBLICATIONS of BOOKS, is a poetry book with 72 pages.
It speaks about love, a surrealistic love, a love from my point of view and feelings. It speaks about all that things that you want to talk with a laud way and you never have the opportunity to say! About all that “not enough” of the soul that screams inside the heart and the mind. The verses in that book of mine, tell us the story of unspoken! As for the rest you have to discover them inside the page! The poetry is a personal journey as a matter of fact!
An adventure poetry book that speak for crystal love.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Well, I am unusual myself, so and my habits!
For example, I puss myself to write up to 50 pages per day when I decide to write. I find that when I am in a coffee shop with internet connection and tasteful cakes, I write more number of pages and more better than my home or my office! I could stay all day long in that coffee shop, eat sugar and drink coffee and write. Oh! and I have the habit to take snapshot of my writing in the coffee shop with my phone and upload them to the internet, in my pages! Love it! As all can imagine, all the people in there laugh with me, but I don’t mind! I have my own ideas for the use of coffee shops! I love the people who have the idea to make the first coffee shop in history! Brilliant idea!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I am a fanatical reader! I spent all my money in books! Really!
I totally read everything!
I must say the poetry of M.N.Tsiamis (a very brilliant Greek poet) had influences me from my young age, the poetry of Odysseas Elytis (you must know him, he received the Nobel price in literature in 1979 for Greece), the novels of Mario Vargas Liosa (a Peruvian author that I am addict to his writing ), the poetry of William Balter Yeats (an Ireland poet. I admire Ireland and the spirit of her people )
