In anticipation of the upcoming bicentenary of the 1821 Greek Revolution, the British School at Athens (BSA) has launched "21 poems into 21", a podcast series celebrating modern Greek poetry with authors, translators, and academics reading their favourite poems by Greek poets such as Cavafy and Seferis, and others less well known.
The series was launched on Friday 28th August 2020 and a new episode will appear on BSA's Facebook and Twitter accounts each Friday in the final 21 weeks of 2020. The full series is available both on the BSA Video Archive and on the BSA's YouTube channel.
The selections celebrate the timelessness of modern Greek poetry and are an appetiser for next year's celebration of the bicentenary of the Greek Revolution.
