Τα ποιήματα - The poems  ↵

The Haiku Poetry Contest started from a spontaneous idea. Along the way, we met people of the arts and spirit who embraced the idea and helped us realize it. We also discovered how much people were hungry for something new, how much they needed to escape from dull reality and try something unknown.

Many of those who sent us their poems came into contact with the art of the Haiku for the first time and really loved it. As the judges commented, the standard of the works was extremely high, both conceptually and technically. And while we had decided to include one hundred participants in the collective edition, we ended up with one hundred and sixty, and I wish it had been possible to include them all.

The process of creating this publication was the result of months of collective effort, and we really enjoyed it, as we were given the opportunity to get to know so many new and older poetic voices. This collection is an act of creation and therefore an act of rebellion against the difficult and uncertain times we live in, just as every spring is an act of rebellion against winter.

So we joined our poetic voices and created with the most humble materials, words, the substrate on which our personal spring will blossom. We proudly present to you "the Haiku of spring".

Τhe poem “courage” has been published in the collection "routes".

The novels “true stories” were published in 2018 by “Thermaikos” Publications in Athens.

This is my first published collection of short stories. The book is dedicated to my children. It marks an age when all people take their first serious life reckoning. Writing is usually a particularly helpful and catalytic role in this process. In my case, this search has taken place both in the fields of writing and in the fields of art: I created paintings of excerpts from my own earlier work and the work of my children. It was, so to speak, a kind of a full-length retrospective. All 38 art works are inspired fromt he novels and each one accompanies a certain novel. It does not qualify as an illustration but as a visual representation of the soul and the style of each novel. These mixed media painings form a self-contained unit inextricably linked to the text. The have been exhibited in Eos Gallery in 2018.

In November and December of the same year, two presentations of the book took place at the IANOS bookstores in Athens and Thessaloniki respectively.

“Truth” means in the Greek language the denial of oblivion. Is not memory indeed an important tool in the search for truth?

The short stories that make up this book are excursions, confessions and exorcisms of memories that, sometimes strong and sometimes impoverished, traveled rudderless in the soul between loss and self-determination, seeking the meaning of the journey and, therefore, the groping of truth.

In parallel with the writing, a series of visual works were created that aimed to accompany each story separately. Just as the redefinition of memories leads us to a new path of consciousness, the mutation of old works led to new works in an attempt to forget what they were, to detach themselves from their previous identity and to acquire a new, jointly combined, value. Purpose, the complete purification without residues, without forgotten or hidden pieces of the path so far, the antidote to peace.

All these short stories, the self-contained and independent ones, have, at least most of them, a small very important truth hidden inside them as a common denominator: How in order for a person to act, it is not enough just to say "because I want to and I can". He must be wondering if he even has the right.

The poetry collection "routes" is an archive of all the poems I wrote from a young age to the age of 44. Τhis was the period from 1975 to 2005. At that time, this publication was for me an attempt to collect in one book all the work up to that time, without cuts. It was originally intended for private use, family and friends, and was not released in bookstores.

In addition to the poems, this collection contains photographs, mostly of the children. It also contains the only poem I found of my father's.

It was published 2014 from Papailiou Publications in Athens.

Size of the book: 16X23cm, soft cover, 118 pages.

...Truth and vanity are both daughters of time. The former needs time to mature, it is patient, courageous and discerning. The other, on the contrary, wants to devour time, to seize every opportunity, insatiable and impatient, blurs confusing the worthy with the base.

Vanity separates the present from what was and from what will be, worshipping what serves it. 

Truth does not break the cycle of things, does not stop the river where time moves eternally with the now, the before and the after...
