Description

"In contrast to these [famous literary cats] and other predecessors, the cats of the Municipality, in their anxious daily lives, remain somehow beyond literature—but not beyond poetry!—rebelling against the prison of the book's pages or the cage of verses, like the elusive Gatsatsioni, which is always in a different position from where it should be or where it seems, like the great, greatest Moutsis, who only seeks the warmth of a caress when death approaches. After eleven whole years of strict distances and dignified silences.

As the Latins said, habent sua fatali belli: our unknown fate, in the underground depths in the Cellar [of the book], we unexpectedly discovered the key to this paradise of cats, perhaps also of humans, created by the poet - and for us." Oddone Longo - Massimo Peri

Translation from Italian: Laura Zei (From the preface of the Italian edition La Gatta di Corfu, Publigold, 1993).

"All your 'types' are real and wonderful." (From the preface of ODYSSEAS ELYTIS)

"To me, the photographs in your book made a special gift, separate, on their part: their beauty to the degree of loneliness." KIKI DIMOULA

"This book has a perfection – nothing more and nothing less than what it was meant to be and what it became. I read it ten times since yesterday and got teary-eyed another ten times." ZYRRANNA ZATELI

"If it hadn’t already been said, I would also characterize it as his most human book. Some of the poems in this collection should be included not only in very selective poetry anthologies (that’s the least), but also in the reading materials of elementary and middle schools. To teach humanity, to revive human communication." YANNIS MARINOS
