Neo-Hellene Poets: An Anthology of Modern Greek Poetry: 1750-2018

by Manolis Aligizakis ...

The most extensive and most comprehensible anthology of modern Greek poetry in English.While many serious readers in Canada will have been exposed to the ancients, and to the works of some, high-profile modernists—like Cafavy, Seferis and, perhaps, even Ritsos—most Modern Greek poetry has remained largely out of reach for English-speaking monoglots.

Constantine P. Cavafy. Poems

by Manolis Aligizakis ...

Translations, like everything else, wear out over time, as language, and those who read or use it, change. With a poet like Cavafy, who was so precisely tuned to the idiom of his peers, it is even more important to update the English versions of his poems frequently, so that they have the same immediate resonance with the times as the originals had with their time. This is, of course, an ... Read more

The Lonely Path of Yannis Ritsos, by Christos Antoniou, PhD in Philology, poet:Ritsos, as is well known, from the very beginning explicitly and steadily connected himself and his poetry to the vision of the communist revolution, with the ideal of a socialist society; this surely is the first thing we need to keep in mind when trying to approach his poetry, in fact, the same way as we believe the ...

Orange

by Manolis Aligizakis ...

Like the song, Orange is about longing and desire: the passing seasons, autumn turns into winter, permeate these lyrics with a finely tuned eloquence. Vibrant and radiant, the poems are inspired by a powerful and subtle music, becoming deeply embedded beneath the skin. A prolific poet, Manolis Aligizakis possesses a distinctly Mediterranean flavour, as would a poet schooled on Cavafy or Elytis: ... Read more

Sometimes words are ghosts dancing with myth and memory. Greek-Canadian poet Manolis Aligizakis demonstrates this in Impulses, his new collection of poems. His poetry springs from a congenital intimacy with a culture and its history. In essence, we are before a poetic glance that is also a revolving metaphor encircling feelings from a Mediterranean philosophy.Poets tend to be witnesses of ... Read more
