Just before lowering his bow
the violinist sees his mother
straightening his collar before the parade
Unfathomable
this love
As everyone got up to leave
we stayed put quietly in our seats

Very happy that translations of three poems of mine -"Cadenza" (from my first Greek book, The lifesaver; translated by myself and Stefanos Basigkal), "Chinese movie" (from the second, Uncovered; translated by Moira Egan), and "Jan III" (as yet unpublished in Greek)- appear in the current, 13th volume of "Hotel Amerika" (editor, David Lazar) - amongst a wonderfully diverse and exciting selection of poetry, essays, fiction, trans-genre texts, etc.
(A few lines from each poem form the collage at the top.)
