i'll be reading with Demosthenes Agrafiotis at SFSU's The Poetry Center

DEMOSTHENES AGRAFIOTIS is active in the fields of poetry/painting/photography/intermedia and their interactions, with numerous books of poetry and essays and exhibitions of visual art both in Greece and abroad. His anthology-formatted magazine 'Clinamen' (1980-90), co-published by Erato Publications in Athens (1991-94), has been active for over a decade as an amalgam of Greek poetry and art with work from Europe and America. 7 artists books were published based on 'Clinamen' (1980-1995). Since 1996 'Clinamen' has continued production of artists books (18), with a web version ( http://www.thetis.gr/services/clinamen) launched in 2001. He is also a professor of Sociology at the National School of Public Health in Athens, Greece, with many published writings on art and epidemiology. In 2004 his performance "A-Empedocles" was staged in the volcanic crater of Sicily's Mt. Aetna.
