History, culture and weird lore. I\u2019m also very inspired by mediocrity. Part of me thinks, \u201cWell, I can definitely do better than that<\/em>,\u201d which fires me up to do my thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve only done a handful of poetry gigs and they\u2019ve all been lovely. But my grand return to the stage was a disaster. I corpsed. For ages. I never used to forget lines, and was always able to improvise if anyone else did. It was humiliating, and I\u2019m still haunted by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Poems that are basically blog posts. Where\u2019s the poetry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In poetry, fellow Cypriot Anthony Anaxagorou.
