The Deputy Ministry of Culture announces the organization of a two-day Scientific Conference entitled "Miltos Sachtouris, the poet of bold images", which will take place on 18 and 19 January 2023, at the Castelliotissa Hall.
Miltos Sachtouris (29 July 1919 - 29 March 2005) is one of the most important post-war Greek poets. Although influenced by surrealism and expressionism, he managed to acquire a purely personal voice, creating - as he says - a poetry "peculiarly dramatic and lyrical". For his work he was awarded three state prizes. He was also awarded the Order of the Order of the Phoenix (1995) for his contribution to Literature and the Grand State Prize for Literature (2003) for his entire body of work.
The Conference will be addressed by the Deputy Minister of Culture, Dr. Yannis Toumazis, on 19 January at 18:00.
