Abstract:
The article traces the lines in Yiorgos Cheimonas’ work that sketch the portrait of a creator. What constitutes creation, in the sense of writing, what is the ambition of the subject that comes to speak poetically, that is to utter a speech so personal as universal? In a type of writing that faces literature, both poetry and prose, in a unique way it searches through the limits of writing and speech, the responsibility, the power and also the freedom of the creator. Through a very modern thinking about speech, as Cheimonas’ is, very traditional concepts in the theological register, such as poiein, are examined.
