Moikom Zeqo

Moikom Zeqo, born in Durrės, Albania, in 1949, is the author of more than a dozen books of poetry and fiction, as well as numerous monographs on Albanian history, literature, and culture. His book *Meduza* (published in English as *I Don’t Believe in Ghosts*, BOA, 2007) was suppressed in Albania from 1975-1995 and only appeared in print after the Communist collapse. In the mid-1990s, Zeqo served briefly as Albania’s Minister of Culture, and for many years he directed the National Historical Museum in Tirana. A bilingual edition of his poetry book, *Zodiac*, translated by Anastas Kapurani and Wayne Miller, will be published in 2015 by Zephyr Press. An archeologist by training, Zeqo currently lives in Tirana and works as a writer and journalist.
