Complementary to his most popular prose, the –lesser known– poetic work of Menelaos Loundemis introduces us anew to a genuinely leftist writer. Free from party constraints, this lyrical figure of social commitment appears in his poetry as a deeply humanist literary figure.

A celebrant of the simple life of the people, but also bravely battling against all forms of oppression and discrimination, he equates Love with Freedom and invites us to fight for a better world.

It includes the following poetry collections:

• Cry to the Ends
• Epitaph and Ode for the Crucified Island
• The Sword and the Kiss
• Concerto for Two Machine Guns and a Nightingale
• Scorched Memory
• The Seven Circles of Loneliness
