Μικρές Γκρίνιες Μιας Γυναίκας, Χίβα Παναχί

Το πρώτο Ελληνικό ποίημα που διάβασα χωρίς να είναι μεταφρασμένο και απευθείας στην Ελληνική γλώσσα ήταν "Απολείπειν ο θεός Aντώνιον". Είχα 3 μήνες στην Αθήνα τότε, κι είχα πάει στο κεντρικό εθνικό θέατρο να δω μια διασκευή. Δεν ήξερα καλά Ελληνικά αλλά είχα πάει για να κρατήσω επαφή με τον πολιτισμό. 

Λοιπόν, λίγα κατάλαβα από την παράσταση και όταν βγήκα άρχισε να βρέχει δυνατά, καρεκλοπόδαρα που έλεγε η Ασπασία, η Καθηγήτρια των Ελληνικών μου τότε.

Το παγκάκι με βιβλία έξω από το θέατρο τράβηξε την προσοχή μου που έγραφε 1000 δραχμές μόνο, και είχαμε ακόμη την δραχμή.  είχα βραχεί αρκετά αλλά δεν με ένοιαζε τόσο πολύ.  Πήρα ένα βιβλίο στην τύχη στο χέρι, ήταν ο Κωνσταντίνος Καφάβης, το αγόρασα, τρέχοντας να προλάβω το λεωφορείο. Το πρώτο ποίημα που διάβασα ήταν αυτό "Απολείπειν ο θεός Aντώνιον", άκρως Συγκινημένη, γεμάτη χαρμολύπη ότι κάτι κατάλαβα στα Ελληνικά' 
"κι αποχαιρέτα την, την Aλεξάνδρεια που χάνεις...."

A poem of Dream by Hiva Panahi in Michigan Quarterly Review

This article in Michigan Quarterly Review about modern Greek poetry also making reference in of poem of Hiva Panahi from Austerity Measures: The New Greek Poetry and writes:    "This anthology questions categories, genres, registers, and histories in a “rhizomatic” (Deleuze and Guattari) manner to dramatize the crisis of representation in language (through translation), identity (through performance), and politics (through post-revolutionary melancholy). It illustrates the becoming of new multi-lingual, multi-ethnic, multi-generational, multi-medial Greek poetry as a map of intersections that lack center and unity, and instead work as lines of flight in a network of rhetorical, topographical, and leftist intensities: “Dreams come from far away places/The stones, the birds and I take on new forms of life/Dreams have their own road/And we live far away these days, like dreams.” (Hiva Panahi, 415). It coheres around the refusal to mourn revolution and forget revolt. It feeds on the melancholic yet unyielding insistence on multiplicity and process, on roots that move and overspill, on measures that pulsate......." http://www.michiganquarterlyreview.com/2018/04/neoliberal-austerity-and-left-melancholy-by-vassilis-lambropoulos/

A Woman from Ashes by Hiva Panahi


In the era where all your knowledge transforms into papers
Papers that leaving you one by one
It is wind, huge wind, strange wind
You feel insecurity like a child with papers of kites
The era of big silence
huge without sky and kites
heartbeats out there on that duststorm
What a strange Eros
The eventual, of a hope
Hiva Panahi March 23/2018 NYC

Μικρές Γκρίνιες Μιας Γυναίκας, Χίβα Παναχί

Αν ξανά πάω στην Αθήνα
Σε κάθε γειτονιά της θα ανάψω ένα κερί
Εναντία στο σκοτάδι που με εδίωκε τόσα χρονιά
Κι θα χαρίσω μια σταγόνα βροχής
Σε όλα τα σημεία που δάκρυζα

Dreams come from far away places

A woman’s little gripes, Hiva Panahi


I have been in New York just five months but I have already had an emotional attachment to this city. This January I was in Manhattan and was met again with simple things like the simple smiling of people and that was wonderful. In my time at Columbia University I had taken the road to learn about this place by luck with no program and no information. The magical buildings with incredible spiritual aura that was written by Pro Ecclesia Dei. I stumbled into the library with great esthetic; it was a blessing and I had a rare sensation of gentleness. I said hello to Homer, Aristotle, Plato and Cicero. I sat down in the corner near the entry and for hours I had conversation with the statute of Athena; this atmosphere moved me so much. My broken health, my broken life and broken career, there were all the broken pieces of my life - like a prayer for new life in the new city, in New York City.
