Polyviou does not deal with passages or specific verses of Anagnostakis in order to interpret them or to convey their possible hidden meaning. He is exclusively interested in the reality within which these verses were created. The first names of people, the streets, the dates that often house the poems, the references to situations that are usually mentioned in an almost cryptographic way, here acquire existence and substance, making it easier for the reader to enter the poet's workshop.
The city of Thessaloniki, where the poet lived all his crucial years, acquires in the pages of this book a character and a face exactly as Anagnostakis saw and experienced them.
Because poetry is not an act in a vacuum. It is a description and depiction of a given reality.
