Achilles is a North Londoner who, along with his alter ego Alien, composes poetry on life as they see it. Initially Achilles wrote poetry as a form of expression and release for himself until a few friends talked him into performing at a poetry night and as a result of further encouragement from the promoters, he hasn't looked back since. Achilles has performed at Poetry in Motion and has also taken part in poetry slams at Farrago poetry. He is currently working on producing a CD and hopes to have his work published."
