What I try to do is to keep emotion on a tight leash otherwise, it can never be transubstantiated into poetry.
Kiki Dimoula
Poetry relishes ripe fruit - but ripe is one thing and overripe quite another. That's something poetry doesn't like, so it couldn't care less if I were to fall overripe to the ground.
Kiki Dimoula
Love grows by not giving to us. And if our passion for poetry lives on and persists, it is because poetry offers us only its bits of lint.
Kiki Dimoula

Kiki Dimoula

Kiki Dimoula

Kiki Dimoula
