Kalliope X consists of Effie Carr, Angela Costi, Danny Klopovic, Dimitris Troaditis, George Mouratidis, David Roberts, Helena Spyrou, Georgia Kartas, Vasilka Pateras and Nick Hall. We are a collective of authors, poets, and educators energised by the work of culturally and linguistically diverse artists in Australia and beyond.

We work collectively to build a forum through which we can encourage, engage and exchange with writers of different diasporas and communities

Through an eclectic approach to poetry, fiction, reviews, interviews, essays and criticism, and an open ear and eye to languages other than English, we work both to show what “Australia” looks, sounds and reads like, and to nurture a conversation with writers from around the world.

We acknowledge the first poets and storytellers of this country, and recognise our own implication as migrant-settlers and children of migrant-settlers in the legacy of the colonisation of First Nations peoples.

It is a privilege to live and work on Aboriginal land.
