Description Unobtrusively but decisively, Stephanos Papadopoulos' work is informed by various cultures: American, Greek, ancient and modern, French and English as distinguished from American.
He follows other poets, but mostly he follows his heart.
In his poetry the melancholy of the modern finds its beauty in loss itself.
Papadopoulos catches this beauty in poem after poem, while his poetry swims for joy in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Aegean.
This beautiful contradiction makes Hotel Dieu a great pleasure to read and reread.
