“Life in the poetry of Takis Varvitsiotis is identified with love which, as Dante says, 'penetrates the universe and radiates.' For him, only poetry, a magnificent art par excellence, can still provide hope for humanity.

Takis Varvitsiotis introduces an authentic exit to the divine glow in the realm of contemporary Greek poetry with the assistance of insight and spontaneity. Beyond all possible interpretations that have been given to his poetry, whether that of a pagan mysticism or that of a religious mysticism, which many distinguished literary critics accepted before me, one thing is certain.

That the poetry of Takis Varvitsiotis is directed towards the peak of a prayer and approaches the level of mystical poetry.” Mimmo Morina, General Secretary of the World Organization of Poets.
