Abstract:
The paper examines the Modern Greek poetic production of the last quarter of the twentieth century. It asks first a number of methodological questions, of which the most crucial is if this analysis should focus on poetry reviewed and studied during that period. The paper then considers the poetry under question in relation to past poetry in an attempt to discern changes of language, style, morals, form, etc., and weighs the “burden” of the seven-year dictatorship (1967-1974). It concludes by presenting “suffering” as the only property of the poet.
