About Us

Nicholas Syrianus Katsafanas

... is a poet drawing inspiration from category mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence, and microtonal music to create new meters for long-form poems. Central to the structure of his mature poems is the idea of an extended line that's measured symmetrically in relation to itself, with successive lines arranged in terms of a range of quotients.

His most recent books focus on the characters of Final Fantasy 7 attempting to posit a virtual metaphysics in the remake edition of their game, remote viewers speaking at length to so-called inanimate objects, and stand-ins for obscure contemporary Greek theologians positing their polemical views on the world.

He operates Blue Velvet Review with his wife Katreena in the West End of Providence RI.
