Voice of Greece, ERT’s international radio addressed to Greeks around the world, continues its series of podcasts— “Poet of the Week” — dedicated to the dissemination, support, and celebration of the Greek language and culture.
Each week focuses on a contemporary Greek poet — including poets of the Diaspora — who personally select and recite their poems for radio broadcast. Each poem is accompanied by carefully chosen music, creating a bridge between verse and sound.
Seven poems per week — one poem each day — travel through the frequencies of Voice of Greece, reaching every corner of the world where Greek voices are heard.
The week from 03 to 09 November 2025 is dedicated to the poet Nikolas Koutsodontis.
Nikolas Koutsodontis, poet and translator from Andros, studied Sociology at Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences. He has published three poetry collections: Halkomania (Entypois 2017; Thraka 2024), Just Don’t Bring Anyone Home (Thraka 2021; 2nd edition 2023), and You Might Leave for Abroad (Thraca, 2024).
He has translated The Collector of Sundays by Croatian poet Marko Pogačar (Thraca, 2024) and The Making of a Witch by British poet Helen Ivory (Thraca, 2025). He was also editor of the first Anthology of Greek Queer Poetry (Thraca & Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung – Greece, 2023). He is a member of the Circle of Poets, and since 2024, a board member of the Society of Greek Writers of Thessaloniki.
