Reading
Ruin: Essays in Exilic Living

Adrianne Kalfopoulou
Hellenic American University, Athens

Respondent: Susan Stewart, Department of English

Poet Adrianne Kalfopoulou will read from her newly published book, Ruin: Essays in Exilic Living, which links meditations on teaching, friendship, motherhood, love, the financial meltdown in Greece, the shared language of politics and advertising, Occupy Wall Street, and the Parthenon Marbles into a relentless interrogation of identity and loss. Kalfopoulou's Athens and New York are twinned sites of perpetual dislocation, palimpsests of political, economic, cultural-and personal-crisis.

Adrianne Kalfopoulou is Associate Professor of Language and Literature at Hellenic American University in Athens, Greece. Her publications include two poetry collections, Wild Greens and Passion Maps, and scholarly work on Sylvia Plath. In Ruin: Essays in Exilic Living, she deals with moments that explore in Rachel Hadas' words "not only cities but states of mind and soul in a pulsing, fraying time." She has taught in the Creative Writing Program at New York University and at the University of Freiburg.
