Several poets write equally well in both Greek and English. One uses his real name, Nikos Laides, in Greece, and the name Paul Nord in America. His poems tend to be epigrammatic, satiric, and witty. Like a fellow poet, the columnist Paul Denis, he belongs to the cultural scene of New York City. Greece knows him for his poems, essays, songs, and translations of Shakespeare, Tennyson, and others. Nord's mock epic in English, Salamander (1946), elicited from Albert Einstein a warm letter of praise. The more than eighty poems in Chaos Revisited (1964) appeared first in the Jamestown, New York, Sun.

Acerbic humor such as one finds in Nord's pithy verse seeks to reduce humanity's folly and greed. A number of his poems and short stories appeared in Athene magazine.
