The emblematic poetry collection "Embargo" by Alkis Alkaios is reissued by Metronomos editions. A landmark book closely linked with the set-to-music poetry of his generation, it returns in a carefully crafted edition that honors the work and its timelessness.

The collection includes the sections: Exercises on Ice, Versions of Decline, and Embargo, capturing the range of Alkaios' poetic voice: a voice that is political, existential, romantic, with high lyricism and profound contemplative intensity.

Most of the poems in the collection were set to music by Thanos Mikroutsikos, marking one of the most creative collaborations between poet and composer in modern Greek music.
