From the Cyclops Cave: A Braided Memoir / Don Schofield
In a quiet coastal town, a professor of poetry finds himself slipping between the familiar and the fantastical. His days unravel in a delicate balance between reality and dream, where unexpected reunions, chance encounters, and the ever-present shadow of death weave together a tapestry of mystery.
`
As the boundaries of perception blur, the visible and invisible worlds begin to mirror one another, guiding him through an inner journey that challenges long-held certainties.
Poetic and introspective, this novel captures the fragile beauty of transformation and the courage it takes to confront the unseen forces shaping our lives.

Theodoros Poulis' biography
Theodoros was raised in Greece by an American mother and a Greek father. After studying in the U.S. and Scotland, he moved to the open steppes of Mongolia, where he spent two years immersed in the life and customs of the local nomadic culture. He has traveled extensively, from the plateaus of Central Asia to the basin of Bangladesh and East India, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, who lived in the Indian subcontinent for over thirty-five years. Since 2020, he has been living in Athens, Greece. This is his first published work of fiction.
We look forward to seeing you!
