This article in Michigan Quarterly Review about modern Greek poetry also making reference in of poem of Hiva Panahi from Austerity Measures: The New Greek Poetry and writes: "This anthology questions categories, genres, registers, and histories in
a “rhizomatic” (Deleuze and Guattari) manner to dramatize the crisis of
representation in language (through translation), identity (through
performance), and politics (through post-revolutionary melancholy). It
illustrates the becoming of new multi-lingual, multi-ethnic,
multi-generational, multi-medial Greek poetry as a map of intersections
that lack center and unity, and instead work as lines of flight in a
network of rhetorical, topographical, and leftist intensities: “Dreams
come from far away places/The stones, the birds and I take on new forms
of life/Dreams have their own road/And we live far away these days, like
dreams.” (Hiva Panahi, 415). It coheres around the refusal to mourn
revolution and forget revolt. It feeds on the melancholic yet unyielding
insistence on multiplicity and process, on roots that move and
overspill, on measures that pulsate......." http://www.michiganquarterlyreview.com/2018/04/neoliberal-austerity-and-left-melancholy-by-vassilis-lambropoulos/

A Woman from Ashes by Hiva Panahi
In the era where all your knowledge transforms into papers
Papers that leaving you one by one
It is wind, huge wind, strange wind
You feel insecurity like a child with papers of kites
The era of big silence
huge without sky and kites
heartbeats out there on that duststorm
What a strange Eros
The eventual, of a hope

ASH PERSON by Hiva Pinahi
Dreams come from far away places
The stones, the birds and I take on new forms of life
Dreams have their own road
And we live far away these days, like dreams.

A woman’s little gripes, Hiva Panahi
I have been in New York just five months but I have already had an
emotional attachment to this city. This January I was in Manhattan and was met
again with simple things like the simple smiling of people and that was
wonderful. In my time at Columbia University I had taken the road to learn
about this place by luck with no program and no information. The magical
buildings with incredible spiritual aura that was written by Pro Ecclesia Dei.
I stumbled into the library with great esthetic; it was a blessing and I had a
rare sensation of gentleness. I said hello to Homer, Aristotle, Plato and
Cicero. I sat down in the corner near the entry and for hours I had
conversation with the statute of Athena; this atmosphere moved me so much. My
broken health, my broken life and broken career, there were all the broken
pieces of my life - like a prayer for new life in the new city, in New York
City.

A woman’s little gripes, Hiva Panahi
Pleasant surprises may not be many but they
arrive as essential truths. They come to erase the traces of those weaklings who
blocked the flow of our lives. They come to give a potent end to the era of the
carnivores we happen to meet, who hurt us in the corners of our lives. Pleasant
surprises arise from pure logic, nesting in distant and nearby places.
They are slow to appear, but when they arrive they are light for the eyes.
Truly, in pure logos flourish the friendliest, most wise human thoughts. Truly logos is discovery. Beyond doubt the experience of truth is poetic, to fill space and time ....
