About the author

Tasos Leivaditis

42 books76 followers
Tasos Leivaditis (Greek: Τάσος Λειβαδίτης; 1922–1988) was a Greek poet, short story writer and literary critic who belonged to the postwar generation that was deeply marked by the struggles and failures of the communist movement. His early and politically committed poetry travelled through the ‘fire and sword’ of history, transforming in the end into powerful and paradoxical prose-poems, and displaying an erotically charged form of ‘neo-romanticism’ mixed with ‘melancholic minimalism’ where “genuine humility offers obeisance to the magic of language.”

Η ποίηση του Λειβαδίτη είναι μοναδική. Εισάγει ένα τόνο της καθημερινής κουβέντας και έχει την τάση να τονίζει λεπτομέρειες μέσα από την επανάληψη λέξεων και φράσεων. Επιτρέπει εξάλλου στον στον αναγνώστη να κάνει τις προεκτάσεις του, αλλά αφήνει και αναπάντητα ερωτήματα.
