Author Konstantinos Poulis was featured on the show “Our Town” on Monday, September 30, 2024.
The talented writer, who has studied Sociology and Ancient Drama, shared that he aims to approach his work with the perspective of an essayist rather than a scholar. He discussed his book “The Sip and the Glass” and primarily his latest work, “From Alert to …,” which includes conversations with his father, from which he read excerpts.
Poulis also expressed the idea that “no personal narrative is entirely individual.” Through his discussions with his father, he brought to life an ever-changing era, its beauty and difficulties, social structures, professions, and daily life as reflected in family circumstances.
A characteristic of the author’s writing is the poetic flow of the narrative and the use of unique, captivating words. During the show, there were references to street theater and the troupe “Tsiritsantsoules,” in which he participates.
Additionally, mention was be made of his journalism work, where he has his own distinct program. Various interesting musical pieces tailored to the author’s interests were also featured.
