Dorothy Poulopoulos is an award-winning Melbourne-born poet who writes in both English and Greek. Her poems appear in journals and anthologies published in Australia and in Greece where she lived for eight years (1994-2002), teaching, and writing poetry. Her collection of poems in Greek titled Βαφη Ψυχης was published in 2016 (catalogued as A Brushstroke of The Soul). She has organised and co-ordinated literary activities and has performed her poetry on many occasions. She is a committee member of Melbourne Poets Union. Kevin Brophy, academic and poet, writes of Dorothy's work in his Introduction: "Dorothy Poulopoulos writes of love with love for what has been written of it (from Aristotle to Cohen), with a love for the cadences of language, and with love for the person she addresses. There is the sea too, and this is where Dorothy Poulopoulos becomes a most startlingly lyrical poet, open to whimsy and inventiveness. In these poems Dorothy Poulopoulos has, remarkably, produced poems that eulogise equally the disparate havens of the celebrated Santorini and the neighbourhood of Bundoora."
