On Saturday, October 12, the show “Our Town” will hosted Giorgos Markopoulos.
The award-winning poet and writer of the ’70s generation, guest in the studio of ERA, read his poems and talk about the important poets he loved, many of whom he had a warm friendship with, such as: Seferis, Elytis, Anagnostakis, Hatzidakis, Theodorakis, Katsaros, M. Eleftheriou, Gorbias, as well as younger poets for whom he wrote significant texts, generously promoting Greek poetry to the next generations.
The guest shared his experiences and remember the time he worked at the Third Program and talked about his neighborhood, Viktorias Square, and the rich impressions he gained from it.
He mentioned his love for football as well as for the left as a philosophy, for this world of faith and ideas that “nurtured his youth.” He also spoke about his beloved “Thourios,” the youth newspaper of the “Internal,” where he had the fortune to write “perhaps the most fruitful texts about Greek poets.”
