Greek Poet for Oranmore Library

Renowned Greek poet, DIMITRIS LYACOS, will read for the Western Writers’ Centre at Oranmore Library, Oranmore, Co Galway, on Wednesday, September 26th, starting at 7. 30pm. Admission is free. The reading will be in English.



“In the steps that I hear

from below, and you come back with us

to the body I want to tear off me,

the sun grates outside. . . . . ”

- ‘Legion’

Lyacos was born in Athens in 1966. In 1992, he commenced writing a trilogy under the collective name “Poena Damni“, from which the above extract is taken, referring to the hardest trial the condemned souls in Hell have to endure, i.e. the loss of the vision of God. The trilogy has been written back to front. The third part appeared first (O protos thanatos) in greek and was later translated in English, Spanish and Italian. The second part was published in 2001 in Greek and German; it came out in English in 2005. Various artists have brought Lyacos’ work in different artistic media. Austrian artist Sylvie Proidl, presented a series of paintings in 2002 in Vienna. In 2004 a sound and sculpture installation by sculptor Fritz Unegg and director Piers Burton-Page as well as a video stemming from Nyctivoe, by Gudrun Bielz, were produced.
