Voice of Greece, ERT’s international radio for Greek speakers worldwide, continues its poetic tribute series, “Poet of the Week.” Each week showcases a contemporary Greek poet or a poet of the diaspora, with the poets themselves curating their radio readings. Their verses, paired with music from beloved composers, bring poetry to life for listeners around the world.
Seven poems each week—one Greek poem a day—journey through the frequencies of Voice of Greece, reaching every corner of the world where Greek voices resonate.
The week from 07/04/2025 to 13/04/2025 is dedicated to the poet Rissos Harissis.
Rissos Harissis studied Greek Culture at the Hellenic Open University, film and television direction, and journalism.
His poetry collections include: “O Metaxourgos” (State Award for Young Literature 1987, Nicosia 1988), “Thalassa Esoterikou Chorou” (State Poetry Award of the Republic of Cyprus, Kichli, Athens 2020). In 2024, he published the album “Kyriakos Charalambidis: Psifídes Poiisis kai Zois”, for which he was responsible for the research, writing, composition, and editing (Insurance Company “Kentriki” Ltd., Nicosia).
