Description

Since the crisis hit in 2008, we have heard much about Greece's economic travails. This year, the world watched as Syriza dramatically took a stand against austerity - and, after months of attrition, finally capitulated. But this is not the whole story. As Karen Van Dyck shows in this anthology of the very best contemporary Greek poetry, the last decade has also seen a remarkable flowering of new creative talent. These are poems concerned with the personal and the political; with the small revelations of gardening and the viciousness of streetfights; with bodies, love, myth, migration, and economic crisis.
