Far Pitched Tents: Poems of War

By Michael M. Nikoletseas

Harvard University Libraries. Man the warrior. A look into the male soul.

**Far Pitched Tents: Bilingual Poetry Collection**Dive into the evocative world of *Far Pitched Tents*, a captivating bilingual poetry collection by Michael M. Nikoletseas. These 17 poems, presented in English and Greek on facing pages, weave Greek heritage, ancient myths, and personal introspection into vivid explorations of memory, war, nature, and existential wonder.From the haunting "The Journey"-where a frozen watermill marks life's passage-to the visceral "Afyonkarahisar" and the majestic "I Sink as I Sail Magnificently," each piece pulses with profound emotion, vivid symbolism, heroism, loss, and transcendence. Classical allusions blend seamlessly with modern depth, echoing the epigraph from Revelation: "his voice as the voice of many waters."Born in 1943 in Androussa, Greece, amid rural watermills and Turkish influences, Nikoletseas later pursued Literature, Psychology, and Medicine in the US. He taught Anatomy in American medical schools while drawing on lifelong interests in the Classics and Psychoanalysis. His works are held in major libraries, including Harvard University Libraries, the Library of Congress, and the British Library.Ideal for readers of bilingual poetry, Greek literature, mythology, and introspective verse.**ISBN: ** 9781461121671 **Published: ** 2011 **Pages: ** 56 **Languages: ** English & Greek
