Translated from the modern Greek with an introduction by David Connoly. Kiki Dimoula writes: "Whenever, I am asked to define what poetry is, I reply that you may as well ask wisdom of the ignorant. It is one of the most lofty and boundless mysteries, and it is only for the sake of gratifying smiles that we say it is a concoction of sweet poisons in seductive gold cups, or that it is temptation, the devil that suddenly enters the body of a normal person, provoking a creative madness.
