Dear all,

Please find attached the press release for *Futures: Poetry of the Greek
Crisis,* an anthology of contemporary Greek poetry responding to the
current sociopolitical situation in Greece and beyond which I edited and
translated. The anthology was published on November 5 by Penned in the
Margins.

*Futures: Poetry of the Greek Crisis* features some of the most daring new
voices in Greek poetry, together with international poets with Greek
connections. These bold, impassioned and critically aware texts stake new
poetic and political ground: they articulate what it means to live in a
time when capitalism is buckling under its own weight and new ways of
living and thinking seem to be emerging. In a time of crisis, Futures calls
for solidarity, resistance and poetry as a political paradigm.

The poets contributing to the anthology are:

Dimitris Allos, Orfeas Apergis, Vassilis Amanatidis, Marios
Chatziprokopiou, Theodoros Chiotis, Emily Critchley, Yiannis Doukas, Nikos
Erinakis, Phoebe Giannisi, Constantinos Hadzinikolaou, Κaterina Iliopoulou,
Panayotis Ioannidis, D.I. (Dimitra Ioannou), Adrianne Kalfopoulou, Patricia
Kolaiti, Dimitra Kotoula, Alexios Mainas, Christodoulos Makris, Sophie
Mayer, Stergios Mitas, Eftychia Panayiotou, Konstantinos Papacharalampos,
Iordanis Papadopoulos, Stephanos Papadopoulos, Eleni Philippou, Stamatis
Polenakis, Nick Potamitis, George Prevedourakis, Theodoros Rakopoulos,
Kiriakos Sifiltzoglou, Eleni Sikélianòs, A. E. Stallings, Yiannis
Stiggas, Barnaby Tideman, Maria Topali, Tryfon Tolides, Thanasis Triaridis,
Thomas Tsalapatis, George Ttoouli, Universal Jenny, Steve Willey.
