AbstractHistoryArchive Description

"This chapbook takes its starting-point from a poem by the leading Greek poet, Yannis Ritsos (1909-1990). Ritsos' poem sets the tone by evoking the power of that seemingly insignificant because ever-present part of speech: the conjunction ‘or'. The force, even audacity, of this two-lettered word is to suggest alternatives when none appear visible, to provoke doubt, to create ambiguity when presented with stark contrasts, to make space for what Ritsos in his poem refers to as "mystery", "multiplicity..." This is the goal Trakakis sets for himself in this work. Philosopher and poet George Vassilacopoulos has written an Introduction to this book."
