A panorama of our modern poetry & an audio document. Manolis Anagnostakis (1925-2005), one of the leading poets and essayists of the post-war generation, selected works from 22 poets of his contemporary modern poetic production and recorded them to be broadcasted by the radio station of Heraklion, Crete in 20 broadcasts. This valuable anthology is published for the first time in book form, accompanied by the interview given by Manolis Anagnostakis to Giorgos Zevelakis, to whom we owe the collection of the material of this anthology and the audio document that accompanies the edition.

We dedicate three broadcasts to Seferis and two each to Ritsos, Elytis, and Engonopoulos. Poems by Anastasios Drivas, Giorgos Sarantaris, Zisis Oikonomou, Andreas Embirikos, Nikitas Rantos, Theodoros Dorros, Nikiforos Vrettakos, Alexandros Baras, Giorgos Themelis, Nikos Gatsos, Dimitris Antoniou, Alexandros Matsas, Takis Varvitsiotis, Giorgos Vafopoulos, Zoi Karelli, and the two poets from Heraklion, Minas Dimakis and Aris Dikteos, who are the youngest—and so prematurely lost—of this series, poets of a transitional period, we might say, with one foot in the generation of the '30s, which forms the main body, and the other in the immediately younger, the so-called first post-war generation."
