Voice of Greece—ERT’s international radio service dedicated to Greek speakers around the world and to the promotion of the Greek language and culture—continues its beloved poetry segments “Poet of the Week.” Each week spotlights a contemporary Greek poet, including voices from the Greek diaspora. The poets themselves curate and perform their own work for radio, with each piece set to music by acclaimed composers.
Antonis Bountouris was born in 1960 in Ermoupoli, Syros. He studied Sociology and works in Public Education. He resides permanently in Athens. He has published four poetry collections. His two most recent collections are titled “The Change of the Sea” and “Castings of the Winds.” The poems he read on Voice of Greece radio are part of these collections.
