Description
Among its many publications for 2017, Kiriakidis Publishing House included the literary work of the former Deputy Prime Minister of Greece. Sotiris Yatsis, a former professor of the University of Thessaloniki, entitled Poetry after Pressure and a few short stories in prose. Both genres are part of the author’s long (1956-2016) amateur engagement with poetry and prose. The poems are divided into historical, sports, and social. Love and romance, children’s, satirical and others. The prose texts are short personal stories both from Mr. Yatsis’ family background and from other topics – sounds of general interest.
In both of our different literary genres the author is influenced by writers (Homer, Mayakovsky, Kavadias) as well as by friendly and familiar persons. In Children’s, he describes in fifteen syllables Achilles’ Shield in a dialogue between Father and Daughter. In the Historicals, again in fifteen syllables, he roughly narrates the battle of Gravia with Odysseus Androutsos as the protagonist. In the same technique he writes the Exodus of Messolonghi.
In the two ANNEXTA of his collection, the author quotes two traditional – folk poems, as he heard and learned them from his mother, Anastasia Grammatiki – Yatsis (1903-1987). The first is the song of Areti, known as To the dead brother. The second is The Bridge of Arta.
The author also speaks to each of his readers, addressing an unanswerable question and a dilemma that is also unanswerable to poets:
Somewhere my reader,
we have met or will meet.
Stay optimistic and choose which loves
they suit you best!
the old ones or the less old ones!
