Hypocrisy Has a Face and Other Writings

By Dina Kafiris

Motivated by a desperate desire to understand the cosmopolitan city of Athens where her ancestors once roamed, Dina Kafiris found herself on a journey to discover the true meaning of what it means to be an Athenian.

As Kafiris struggled to integrate into the new society she was now living in, jotted-down poems and notes acted as a diary, a memoir.

Evolving into her first full-length poetry collection, Hypocrisy has a Face emerged as a response to her environment and the events that overshadowed the country at the time of writing, establishing a realistic image of Athenian life in the first decade of the 21st Century, breaking down stereotypes and offering an intimate knowledge of the city and its people.

These powerful poems explore how the political landscape of a city can impact our existence whilst constantly inspiring the reinvention of our identity. Hypocrisy has a Face shows the resilience of the citizen in times of personal conflict and crisis.
