Kiki Dimoula

She was the first female poet ever to be included in the prestigious French publisher Gallimard’s poetry series.

[2] Dimoula's work[3][4] is haunted by the existential dissolution of the post-war era.

Her central themes are hopelessness, insecurity, absence and oblivion.

Using diverse subjects (from a "Marlboro boy" to mobile phones) and twisting grammar in unconventional ways, she accentuated the power of the words through astonishment and surprise, but always managed to retain a sense of hope.

Her poetry has been translated into English, French, German, Swedish, Danish, Spanish, Italian and many other languages.
