Eleni Sikelianos is a poet, writer, and "a master of mixing genres." She is the author of ten books of poetry, most recently Your Kingdom, and two hybrid nonfiction/fiction/image/poetry family histories. Frequently saturated with delight in the natural world and a layperson’s study of biology, her work is dedicated to turning the kaleidoscope for more angles on what being alive looks and feels like. Edge-play manifests in her collaborative work with musicians, filmmakers, and visual artists, including Ed Bowes, Courtney Stephens, and Philip Glass.
