Aligizakis, Manolis

Synopsis

Like the song, Orange is about longing and desire: the passing seasons, autumn turns into winter, permeate these lyrics with a finely tuned eloquence. Vibrant and radiant, the poems are inspired by a powerful and subtle music, becoming deeply embedded beneath the skin. A prolific poet, Manolis Aligizakis possesses a distinctly Mediterranean flavour, as would a poet schooled on Cavafy or Elytis: aromatic, tangy, like the freshness of an olive grove in the morning. e poems revel in the vitality of the sensuous motion of language on a sea of thought. In the fervid expression of Orange Manolis Aligizakis forges a cogent alloy of mind and heart, flesh and spirit. Originally written in Greek, Orange is presented in an elegant en face edition.
