The Axion Esti (To axion esti)
|
I have no words to describe the beauty of this poem! Reading it makes you feel on your skin the heat of the Greek sun, it blinds you with the Greek light, it bounds you with the very essence of what Greece realy is; eros and eos (love and light).

Diary of an Invisible April
(Hemerologio henos atheatou apriliou)
|
It is a fantastic book of Elytis. It is a book that makes you feel that you are in a fairy tale but also in reallity. It is a sort of book like a diary which Elytis had wrote in a month (in April), but it is a book like a calendar for all the seasons of the soul.
/Giannis Christopoulos, 25, Greece |

The Monogram
(To Monoghramma)
|
A masterpiece! The all time greatest love poem. I was fortunate enough to meet the poet once when I was young and he immediately became my favourite person in Literature!
/Alexandra Kontouli, 26, Greece
For his deep feeling of love and devotion, strongly connected with the Greek land.
/Joanne Papazoglou, 20, Greece
It's one of the most beautiful
love confessions I've ever read!

Six and One Remorses for the Sky
(Exi ke mia tipsis yia ton ourano)
|
It shows a different culture
such as the greek, his love for liberty and life is clear in
every one of his poems and it makes us feel the same way, he
looks at the past and the present, not only of his own land but
the whole world.
/Daniel Michel, 24, Mexico |
