About
AtelokiN
AtelokiN is the literary and research identity of Nikolleta Mancheva — poet, writer, editor, translator, and researcher with over ten years of professional experience in archival and historical research. Her work explores the human condition through themes of dignity, endurance, memory, identity, and inner freedom, often situated within contemporary social and psychological contexts. She writes across genres, including poetry, philosophical prose, social analysis, and hybrid literary forms. AtelokiN is the author of several poetry collections and interdisciplinary texts, as well as the creator of the philosophical-social project Grotesque of the Human, a trilogy examining humiliation, survival, and silence as structural experiences of modern life. Alongside her creative work, she is actively engaged in collaborative writing and editorial projects, historical research, and international academic forums. She currently studies Theology at Sofia University, where her interests intersect anthropology, ethics, cultural memory, and symbolic language. Her writing is characterized by depth, precision, and ethical attention to the fragile boundaries between the personal and the collective, the lived and the remembered.
