Stephanos Papadopoulos

Stephanos Papadopoulos, a Greek-American poet and translator, was born in North Carolina in 1976 and was raised in Paris and Athens. Educated in the US and Edinburgh, Scotland, he holds a degree in classical archaeology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

His work has been published in periodicals such as the Yale Review, Poetry Review, Stand Magazine, The New Republic and many others. He has translated works of the Greek poets, Yiannis Ritsos, Kostas Karyotakis, and Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke. He is editor and co-translator of Derek Walcott in Greek, "Selected Poems" in 2007. Selections of his work have been translated into Greek, Italian, Spanish, and French. “Lost Days”, his first collection, is published by Michael Hulse with Leviathan Press in London and Rattapallax Press in New York. His second book “Hotel-Dieu” is forthcoming from [Sheep Meadow Press] . He is at work on a third collection of poems about the Black Sea Greeks based on their historic exodus from that region.

“…One can hardly fail to notice the sensuality of Stephanos poapadopoulos’ Lost Days. Frequently through flashing (but not flashy) metaphor, Papadopoulos creates too a sense of the infinite and intangible aspects of the world…Papadopoulos is able to pay tribute to such poets as Montale, cavafy and Brodsky without ever seeming dwarfed or dominated by them.
