In the studio, the important and award-winning poet Tasoula Karageorgiou talks to us about the poetry of Sappho for whom she published a very important work entitled “Sappho – the poems”, where she prefaces, translates and presents us excellent notes about the leading poet. About Sappho’s poetry, we could say in one sentence that “the triumph of beauty constantly springs up”.
