Tag: GREEK MOUNTAINS

📚📚On the occasion of the publication of the "Anthology of Greek Women Poets", comprising 19 contemporary Greek women #poets, into Polish, its editor and translator Leszek Paul spoke to Reading Greece about the book, the main themes the poetic works delve into, the challenges he faced while compiling and translating the anthology, as well as what makes Greek #poetry appealing to a Polish audience.

"#Greece is gradually being rediscovered by Poles—not only as a beautiful, hospitable country and a popular holiday destination, now more accessible thanks to improved living standards, but also as a culture of remarkable depth. Young people are beginning to realize that Greece is more than λίγο κρασί, λίγο θάλασσα και τ’ αγόρι μου—more than Zorba and souvlaki. It is also the cinema of Yorgos Lanthimos, the poetry of Cavafy—finally available in decent translations—and much more. There is a growing curiosity, a hunger to discover Greece from a different angle. And that hunger is worth satisfying".
