About this listen

 Like a song, Orange, is about longing and desires: the passing seasons, as summer turns into winter, permeate these lyrics with a finely tuned eloquence. Vibrant and radiant, the poems are inspired by a powerful and subtle music and become deeply embedded beneath the skin. Manolis Aligizakis, a prolific poet, possesses a distinctly Mediterranean flavour, as would a poet schooled on Cavafy or Elytis: aromatic, tangy, like the freshness of an orange peel or an olive grove in the morning. The poems revel in the vitality of the sensuous motion of language on a sea of thought. In the fervid expression of Orange, the poet forges a cogent alloy of mind and heart, flesh and spirit. Originally written in Hellenic, Orange is presented in an elegant English edition.

The deep thought of Manolis’ poetry is an ancient music that is the source of all great poetry, and within the context of these poems, the shades of Anacreon and Neruda are ever present.
