STORIES
Ο Γιώργος Κιτής εργάζεται στο χώρο του marketing τα τελευταία 12 χρόνια. Τώρα τον μαθαίνουμε και ως συγγραφέα, αφού έχει γράψει το πρώτο του μυθιστόρημα. Φυσικά τον γνωρίζαμε από προηγουμένως αφού είχε παρακολουθήσει ένα μάθημα διηγηματογραφίας από την Ελένη Ξένου, στο Write CY.
Listen to Christiana Nicolaides rip a hole out of Open Mic 8 with this brutally honest poem.
Βρέσιε. Οι σταγόνες ππέφτουν πάνω στον τσίγκον όπως τες πελλές. Υπό άλλες συνθήκες εν να μου άρεσκεν πολλά να τες ακόυω. Τωρά όμως πελλανίσκουν με.
Listen to Sophia Archontis channel her 6-year-old self in this runaway performance of Open Mic Night 8-cum-cautionary tale for any would-be reading teacher who doesn't heed the call of nature.
Guest blogger Evdokia Charalampous gets inside the future primitive sounds of Brain Masturbation, a Cypriot band based in Amsterdam.
Dump is an angry T-Rex with a tiny brain and hands who has made himself King of Dinosaur Land. When Dump kicks all the other dinosaurs out of Dinosaur Land to create more jobs and food, Dinosaur Land becomes a very boring place.
A man whose name is synonymous with the art of the haiku, Mr. Samano returns to the stage with six more original Cypriot haikouthkia. Will he ever run out?
Είχα το παραμύθιν στα σιέρκα μου δκυο μέρες πριν το Open Mic Night. Ο Μιχαήλ Άγγελος θα απουσίαζε τζ’ επέλεξεν με για να δκιαβάσω ‘κάτι που έγραψεν’.
Evdokia Charalampous sort of snuck up on me with these two short poems, both previously published in the UK, that take potentially nostalgic or melodramatic life moments and just cut to the quick in completely original, exquisitely nuanced language.
Max Sheridan performs flash fiction about a man with an eccentric wife who leaves him for a birthday magician.
Andri Loizides tells us what it feels like to jump from a cliff...and land.
2016, we'd probably all agree, is a good contender for the King of Shitty Years. It was the year Donald Trump got elected and David Bowie died, and playing on the TV day and night, ever-present as static on a busted TV, Aleppo was burning.
Listen to paleofuturist Alexis Karkotis channel the spirits of Philip K. Dick and William Burroughs (and, yes, even Telly Savalas) in this hybrid fever dream/lament for the good old pre-digital days of Kojak and blood-and-bone hummingbirds.
Fortino Samano is back with 6 more original haikouthkia on beloved Cypriot themes ranging from lizards to motores.
