    Author

    Elizabeth Agiantritis

    I was born in England in 1978, the youngest of 3 girls. My whole family moved to Greece in 1983, where we still live. I have been writing poetry since I was 10. The poems in my collections span from my earliest poems up until my most recent work. I am the only one who has ever reviewed my work, so despite my best efforts to check it, errors may be present. I welcome all feedback, but would appreciate it if you would not insult my work. My poetry is all free and if it does not appeal to you, there is not reason to be cruel about it.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      On Beginnings and Endings

      Mar 27, 2018

      TO BEGIN IS to admit an infatuation, a longing, a love. A beginning signals that one has moved well past being merely interested and is now immersed in what is most likely an obsession. To begin connotes more than falling in love: to begin is to comm
