Mikis Theodorakis has already touched many lives in many countries with his music alone.
For those who understand Greek, the combination of his music with Greek poetry has been a lasting inspiration.
His own poems were a response to the dramatic events of his life.
Scribbled in prison cells and on barren islands, they are the work of a man who had three lives:
- one of heroic political struggle,
- one o bountless artistic creativity,
- and one of private loves and sorrows.
The poems are tranlated by Gail Holst-Warhaft, biographer and eminent specialist of life and work of the composer.
Prof. Gail L. Holst-Warhaft is Adjunct Associate Professor at Cornell University, Department of Classics/Comparative Literature
