Praise for Michális Ganás:

“Throughout his poetry we find the dashed hopes and ideals of his youth transformed into a stifled cry in the confined, peripheral Greece of the neighbourhood, the café and the football pitch.”—Kostas Papageorgiou, in The Generation of the 1970s

“Ganás draws on the full resources of modern Greek poetry in order to create his own voice. To read him is to be inspired to reread a whole tradition through him.”—David Ricks, King’s College, London

“With formal modes ranging from the epigram to the folksong to the prose poem, Ganás creates clear images that seem to refer constantly to some unspoken truth.”—Dimosthenis Kourtovik
