The life and work of the late poet Manolis Anagnostakis (1925-2005) casts a long shadow over the literary, social, and political landscape of post-war Greece. The essays in this volume essays as well as the presentation of hitherto untranslated material from his oeuvre finally places this towering figure in the company of other more well-known Greek poets of the twentieth century.
