Odysseus Elytis »

 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).
/Yiorgos Arafailidis, 24, Italy

 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!
/Irini Lioli, 18, Greece

 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
