Greg Krikorian 

Greg Kirkorian is a blustering New York queer and his poetry and writing reflect that. His work is mostly fatuous nonsense about blow jobs and depression. He describes himself as an anti-romantic searching for coded meaning in the trash strewn around the subway tracks. After spending the last year in the Dublin scene, he recently moved back to New York to pursue his writing career by performing his poetry around town and writing for a internationally-focused blog called The Ci-Pher Project.
