Adrianne Kalfopoulou is the author of Wild Greens, a poetry collection from Red Hen Press, and a prose memoir, Broken Greek. She has published two chapbooks, Fig and Cumulus and various articles and essays. Passion Maps is her second collection of poems. She taught at the University of Edinburgh's international summer school program for several years and in various writing workshops in Greece. Currently she is an Assistant Professor at Hellenic American University in Athens where she developed the general education program and teaches literature.
Passion Maps is an exceptional collection, filled with wholly original poems that are fresh, sensual, and beautifully realized. The collection is thoughtful, smart, and moving. It's poems like At the Edge of the World, The Border, The Evening Drink, or Stassi Ecclesia that remind us why we read in the first place: to be delighted, to be changed. Jeffrey Levine
