ΠΡΑΣΙΝΟΣ ΟΥΡΑΝΟΣ ΜΠΛΕ ΧΟΡΤΑΡΙ

"No cry of anguish can be greater than the cry of a man. " With this motto of Wittgenstein, Stavros Zafeiriou gives meaning to the content of his new book of poetry. From Schoenberg's "Moon Pierrot", which follows the ordeal of the exiles, to the Kafkaesque-Odyssean "Silence of the Sirens", from Georg Trakl's campaign hospital to Fritz Lang's controversial "Metropolis", from Deblin's poorhouse of Alexanderplatz to Van Gogh's astral swirls, Stavros Zafeiriou, wrapping and unraveling the thread of expressionism, takes us to times so parallel to our own, to show us how political, economic and value crises become the matrices that give birth to the monsters of history how the imperfection of human existence becomes the mechanism of its self-indulgence. To tell us that "if history is written by the victors, it remains for art to tell the story of the vanquished", that "even the most perfect world will be incomplete before the touch of utopia". "Green sky, blue grass". It is the translation of nature, it is the expression of nature within us, says Kandinsky. It is the translation of man, poetry adds.
