Visions Nicholas Alexander Papantoniou

Nicholas was born in London on September 29th 1957. In Athens, in mid-September, 1977, after a flash of inspiration, on a bus, on the way home from Kiffissia, to Metamorphosis, in the suburbs of Athens-he wrote his first poem. He was nineteen. At the age of twenty-nine, during June, 1987, he began to get sudden bursts of inspiration and started writing poetry very frequently. Being obsessive-compulsive, he noted the time that he began and ended each poem. He writes poetry in exited haste, trying to get it all on paper while the inspiration lasts. In 2009 and 2010 he had more flashes of 'inspiration' than ever before. Sometimes, he calls them his 'visions.'
