Description
These poems are […] typical of all that is finest and strongest in modern Greek literature. Perhaps only in a country where yet survives a vital folk culture, could such simplicity and directness be merged with a rich and individual poetic idiom. The result is a style that can move from simple and direct emotional statement at the fresh, pure, and unbanal level of a folksong, to a breadth and wealth of imagery, a depth of realization, that belong to great and fully matured poetry.
