More about the book
The collection features 105 prose-poems inspired by four journeys through Greece, particularly around Argos, a center of ancient power. Each poem reflects daily experiences intertwined with historical echoes, capturing the essence of the landscape, local fauna, ruins, and cultural influences, such as music and literature. The work includes two shorter, more lyrical segments from the Peloponnese, along with excursions to historical sites. The poems transform observations into a poetic exploration of place and perception.
