Ancient greek poetry

Despite being a word not found in modern dictionaries, Apodyopsis is derived from Ancient Greek. Its meaning is to mentally undress someone, undressing someone with the eyes. Admit it, you’ve all done it

“The title of the poem (Onta) gives away its source—that Ancient Greek word for being, the things which actually exist, the present, reality, truth. I’ve been translating the earliest Greek philosophers, and this poem works through their thinking, little notes made for memory in case I should forget these fundamental beauties of the world, a small work against oblivion.” —Dan Beachy-Quick #present #poetry #writer #greekstudy 12.11.22
