Ειρηνικά

A vibrant tapestry of early Greek modernist verse, this collection gathers the youthful experiments of a poet who straddles the line between lyric yearning and urgent social commentary. The opening pages echo a hopeful call for peace, weaving together hymn‑like prayers, vivid images of sunrise, and an invocation of love as a force to rebuild shattered societies. Throughout, the poems shift from intimate reflections on personal freedom to bold proclamations demanding the transformation of swords into ploughshares, all rendered in a language that balances classical resonance with contemporary clarity.

Beyond the verses, the volume also includes a short drama, a light‑hearted comedy, and a translation that reveal the author’s breadth as a dramatist and translator. Listeners will encounter scenes of familial reunion, glimpses of rural life, and spirited dialogues that hint at the larger cultural debates of the era. The result is a richly varied listening experience that invites contemplation of war, renewal, and the enduring power of artistic expression.
