A stunning collection that draws from four decades of verse by one
of modern Greece's most lauded poets This is the first
English-language collection of work by the renowned Greek poet
Michalis Ganas. Originally from a remote village on the northwest
border of Greece, Ganas witnessed the Greek Civil War as a young
child, and was taken into enforced exile in Eastern Europe with his
family. Weaving together subtle references to the events and places
that have defined his life's story, Ganas's terse and technically
accomplished poems are a combination of folklore, autobiography,
and recent history. Whether describing the mountains of his youth
or the difficulties of acclimation in Athens of the 1960s and
1970s, Ganas's writing is infused with striking and original
imagery inspired by love, memory, and loss. Featuring expert
translations-made in collaboration with Ganas himself-by David
Connolly and Joshua Barley, this volume also includes a scholarly
introduction to the poet's life and work.
