Hiva Panahi poem in Cross-Section: An Anthology of Contemporary Greek Poetry



Today I learned that The Cross-Section: An Anthology of Contemporary Greek Poetry has-beens choose one of my poems and it has been published in 2015 in  San Francisco.  This anthology presents both veteran and younger Greek poets of this generation in a panorama of creative expression that enlightens the recent and continuing dark years of Greek economic strife through the imaginative and passionate inventions of the poets and their translators. Modern poetry can be said to have been begun in classical Greece, so the breaths in this book all have a profound resonance of roots of song growing and spreading to the vessels of reception on a sea of hearty and heartfelt lyrical waves.

A Woman from Ashes by Hiva Panahi

Art and beauty are not «makeup» or extremely expensive clothes, expensive cars or extravaganza houses;  art is much more complicated than all superficialities served to us in the name of Art.
Art is the knowledge of harmony which presupposes, of course, a good command of both general and specific philosophy.
Great art means great effort, and great effort means to experience suffering until the sun shines for you.
