One of the most important Greek poets, prose writers, photographers, psychoanalysts, and introducers of surrealism in Greece, Andreas Embirikos left his mark on Greek poetry and thought with his pioneering and daring voice.
Jacques Bouchard, a leading Hellenist and professor of Modern Greek literature at the University of Montreal, speaks about Embirikos’ poetry and his relationship with it.
Poems are read by the poet’s son, historian Leonidas Embirikos.
