Karyotakis Selected Poems: Life Is an Endless Night

By Kostas Karyotakis

Dive into the piercing world of Kostas Karyotakis, a figure whose life and work have left an indelible mark on modern Greek poetry. Born in 1896 and tragically ending his own life in 1928, Karyotakis navigated the complexities of existence with noble character, impeccable manners, and a heart of pure sensitivity. His poetry explores the depths of a man who, beyond his gentle demeanour, was a critic with a keen eye, unafraid to dissect society's layers with sharp, satirical wit-and confront the human hypocrisy alongside the deepest abysses of the soul.

A must-read for those who seek the beauty in despair and the light in the deepest shadows, this book is a tribute to the eternal voice of Karyotakis, whose verses continue to illuminate the path of human pain:

You would be one more among the dead,

if the dead were not in peace...
