"meeting at the poem" @ 'container', thessaloniki
'container' hosts
a meeting at the poem
when we read a poem
silently or aloud
on our own or in company, with friends or strangers
a meeting is already taking place:
written words meet the body's voice
on tuesday 20 april, at 21:00, 'container' [n.foka 8, thessaloniki, greece - containerspace.gr] will become the space for such a meeting
poems of mine -from the lifesaver, as well as unpublished- will be read, making up, through voice and space, a new poem

[A piece in Greek, briefly commenting, on the one hand, on the modernist avant la lettre 1911 sonnet, "Phaliro", by Greek poet Lorentzos Mavilis, who was probably the Master of the Greek sonnet, and a staunch supporter of the 'demotic', whilst a member of parliament - and, on the other, on the sonnet per se, as poetic form.]
