## Bio

Archilochus lived on Paros in the seventh century BC, somewhere around 680 to 645. While his contemporaries sang of gods and heroes, he broke the mold: he wrote about his own emotions and experiences, making himself the center of the poem. He worked in iambic meter with a flexibility no one had shown before, bending form to fit feeling. The innovation stuck. What survives of his work is fragments, but the shift he made - verse as confession, as personal record - echoes forward through every poet since who ever wrote "I."
