About the author

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.”

«Τι άλλο είναι, λοιπόν, το μέλλον απ’την αληθινή πατρίδα μας, αφού το όνειρο εκεί πηγαίνει, κι όταν πεθάνουμε, είμαστε πιο μπροστά από χθες, νεκροί στο μέγα αύριο»
