Vassiliki Ergazaki, as a true poet, opens her arms and, breathing in the fresh air of the moments, shares with the reader her own notion of what lies behind and beyond appearances. In her second poetic collection, each poem is a newlyblossomed flower, embracing within its petals a still hidden fragrance, a meaning, an idea, a concept yet unrevealed.

Publisher’s Note about the book

Life is full of exhortations and incentives, as it constantly offers small notions of what exists at its depths, at its essence. Poets are those who reflect upon these moments –in which life’s greatness is revealed, its fiery nature– and transpose what they encountered onto their verses, not as a personal gain, but as a panhuman experience.

Vassiliki Ergazaki, as a true poet, opens her arms and, breathing in the fresh air of the moments, shares with the reader her own notion of what lies behind and beyond appearances.

In her second poetic collection, each poem is a newlyblossomed flower, embracing within its petals a still hidden fragrance, a meaning, an idea, a concept yet unrevealed. Lest these flowers perish in the winds of life, we have turned them into a wreath, which we respectfully present to humanity, so that it may bend and smell the hidden fragrance, reaching the innermost part of the poems and unfolding their petals, to pass from notion to realization of the true human spirit.
