Description:
San Francisco: City Lights, 2004 Book. Fine. Soft cover. Signed by Author(s). First Edition.. With a seamless weave of letters, reminiscences, poems, and journal entries, Eleni Sikelianos creates a loving portrait - and an unblinking indictment - of her father, Jon: a talented musician, a high school dropout, an autodidact descendent of Greek nobility, and, for much of his life, a drug addict. An eccentric visionary, he emerges as a brilliant, irresponsible, frustrating, and ultimately tragic figure. In 2001, after three years of homelessness on the streets of Albuquerque, he died in a motel room from an overdose." Vivid and poignant evocation of a daughter's relationship with her enigmatic, inspiring, and deeply troubled father"116p. illus, author inscription on title page.

Limni,Evvia,Greece: Denise Harvey, 2000 Book. Illus. by Trans. By Liadain Sherrard. New Book from Greece. Soft cover. First Thus. (New - will be sent to you direct from the publisher in Greece) Zissimos Lorenzatos (1915-2004) was considered to be the most important man of letters of his time in Greece. An essayist, poet and thinker, he was the last of his generation with a vision that was both deeply religious and humane. His profound knowledge of European literature and thought, and his familiarity with the writings and philosophy of the East, along with his thorough assimilation of the long Greek tradition, enabled him to explore, with unusual insight, the spirit both of Europe and of modern Greece. This second selection of his essays to be published in English includes his studies on the Greek writers Papadiamantis, Sikelianos and Capetanakis, and on the architect Dimitris Pikionis, and concludes with a penetrating discussion of the American poet Ezra Pound, who called himself the 'apostle of…
