Poet Of The Week
SCHEDULE VOICE OF GREECE

Yannis Doukas is the “Poet of the Week” on Voice of Greece | 20-26 January 2025

Seven poems each week, one Greek poem each day, travel across the airwaves of Voice of Greece, reaching Greek voices around the globe.

From January 20 to January 26, 2025, the spotlight shines on poet Yannis Doukas.

Born in Athens in 1981, Doukas studied Philology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and Digital Humanities at King’s College London. For the past four years, he lived in Galway, Ireland, completing his Ph.D. on intertextuality in Late Antiquity epic poetry and its digital representation methods.

Published Works:

  • The World as I Found It (short prose, Kedros, 2001)
  • At the Inner Borders (poetry, Polis, 2011, awarded the “New Poet” Prize by Diavazo magazine)
  • The Stendhal Syndrome (poetry, Polis, 2013, awarded the G. Athanas Award by the Academy of Athens)
  • Thebes Memphis (Polis, 2020)

His poems have been translated into English, French, German, Serbian, Dutch, and Polish. Two poems from At the Inner Borders (“Two Roads” and “In the Time of Something Like”) were set to music by Nikos Platyrachos on the album The Homeless (2015). Two songs featuring his lyrics (“In the Same City in Rain” and “Billiards”) were included on In the Fog of the Times by Thanos Mikroutsikos (2017).

Doukas also translates from English and co-translated e.e. cummings’ love poems with Haris Vlavianos (Let’s Kiss Then, Patakis, 2014). His work has been featured in various print and online publications, including Diavazo and Poetica, where he is also a member of the editorial team.
