Manolis

Cloe and Alexandra (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Alexandra's voice is thunderous like a bell at day break, crystal clear like a brilliant spring morning. At times black or white, definite, with declarations such as 'his erection hard as rock/concealed in his pants'. Other times she approaches the big game of 'Eros' exactly as that: a game with mutual contributions by the two involved where they both value their effort to free themselves from past prison cells, where most people reside, from 'yellow submarines' where most people dwell. Cloe's voice is subdued almost unintended, implying almost insinuating, yet powerful like Alexander's sword that slashed the Gordian knot to pieces. She conceals the ultimate truth while with her simplicity she pierces the reader through and through. She approaches the subtle difference between the two sexes from the point of how they find their common ground through self-expression. Both Cloe and Alexandra possess clarity in the development of their poems while they build anticipation with so much unsaid though expected and they present their characters as subtle and allusive yet at the same time as tragically obvious as they are. Both being familiar with the Greek environment where light is the most important medium, the best cleansing mechanism both poetesses quite comfortably endure the weight of the ancient beauty sitting on shoulders creative and strong.

Autorenporträt

Manolis was born in the small village Kolibari west of Chania on the Greek island of Crete in 1947. At a young age his family moved first to Thessaloniki and then to Athens where he was educated, achieving a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science at Panteion Supreme School of Athens. He served in the armed forces for two years, and emigrated to Vancouver in 1973, where he worked in several different jobs over the years.

He attended Simon Fraser University for a year, taking English Literature in a non-degree program. He has written three novels, a large number of collections of poetry, which are slowly appearing as published works, various articles and short stories in Greek as well as in English. After working as an iron worker, train labourer, taxi driver, and stock broker, he now lives in White Rock where he spends his time writing, gardening, and traveling.

Towards the end of 2006 he founded Libros Libertad, an unorthodox and independent publishing company in Surrey, BC, with the goal of publishing literary books.
