Seven poems every week, one Greek poem each day, traveling across the frequencies of VOICE OF GREECE to the far corners of the earth, wherever Greek voices can be heard.

The week of 27 January 2025 to 02 February 2025 is dedicated to Stavros Zafeiriou.

Stavros Zafeiriou was born in 1958 in Thessaloniki. He writes poetry and fairy tales and also publishes critical essays in print and online literary magazines. His poetry books “Towards Where”, “Difficult”, and “The Natural Things” are published in France by L’Harmattan, while two anthologies of his poems have been released in Italy. His work has been translated into most European languages.

He was awarded the 2023 National Poetry Prize for his book “Green Sky, Blue Grass”. His book “Towards Where” won the 2013 Poetry Award from the magazine “The Reader”, dedicated to books and the arts. In 2022, he received the Literature Award for his overall contribution from the Greece-Cyprus Cultural Association. He has also been honored by the Circle of Children’s Books for his rhymed theatrical fairy tale “The Carnival of Animals”, while his fairy tale “The Little Pilot” was a nominee for the National Children’s Book Award.

During the 2021-2023 period, he served as a member of the Board of the Society of Authors.
