This annual event will be held digitally at one session of the PWPF Poetry Event 2020, with a presentation of the award-winning poets and recitations by them. This is the annual event during which the "Jean Moréas" Prizes are awarded for Greek poetic art and Greek poetic production in its entire range. They are recognizable nationwide and concern the poetry collections that were published throughout the previous calendar year from the year of the award. They refer both to young poets and newcomers and to those who are recognized with their poetic work along time.

The event is highly appreciated by the Greek literary and artistic circle of readers. In this year's event, in addition to the institutionalized awards, a very important foreign poet will be honored, who with his/her lifelong work honors the literature outside Greece.The Award Committee is composed of Greek University professors, as well as very important poets and poetry critics who will evaluate the work of the honorees.

Sincerely,

On behalf of the organizing committee.

deep red lantem

The Poems

deep red lantem

slowly the hide
sign of death
cum on the skin
white was the secret as well as the red one
there, near the middle

in the middle of my face
just to kick the fear out
like a little arrow
messed in steps
confused by hopes

the one, the heartless, the timeless time
that doesn't count tomorrow dreams and faith
becomes a journey, fast and crisp
only on his own does he recognize

play through a light
and back into the darkness
hanging unhelpful to the lowest element of the human being
it's human's destiny
no matter boy or girl

just look for the begining
the elongated thread
the deep red lantem
as long as you want a fairy tale
to name it life
reveal it quickly

* CONTINUES BY PALINDROMIC READING – YOU CAN READ IT BACKWARDS, FROM BOTTOM TO UP

reveal it quickly
to name it life
as long as you want a fairy tale
the deep red lantem
the elongated thread
just look for the beginning

no matter boy or girl
it's human's destiny
hanging unhelpful to the lowest element of the human being
and back into the darkness
play through a light

only on his own does he recognize
becomes a journey, fast and crisp
that doesn't count tomorrow dreams and faith
the one, the heartless, the timeless time

confused by hopes
messed in steps
like a little arrow
just to kick the fear out
in the middle of my face

there, near the middle
white was the secret as well as the red one
cum on the skin
sign of death
slowly the hide

Άλικο φανέρωμα

σιγά σιγά το έκρυβα
σημάδι του θανάτου
το σώρευα στο δέρμα
το άσπρο το 'θελα κρυφό και τ' άλικο συνάμα
εκεί κοντά στη μέση

στη μέση του προσώπου μου
τον φόβο για να διώξω
σαν βέλος έπλαθα μικρό
ανάκατο σε βήματα
μ' ελπίδες μπερδεμένο

εκείνονε τον άκαρδο, τον άχρονο το χρόνο
που όνειρα γι΄αύριο και πίστη δε λογίζει
ταξίδι γίνεται γοργό και ακροσαλεμένο
μονάχα το δικό του εκείνο αναγνωρίζει

παιχνίδι μέσα από ένα φως
και πίσω στο σκοτάδι
να κρέμεται ανέλπιδος και άπιστος στο τόσο
του ανθρώπου μοίρα είναι αυτή
αγόρι ή κορίτσι

για ψάξε βρες από όλα που αρχινά
το άλικο το νήμα
σαν θέλεις παραμύθι
ζωή να τ' ονομάσεις
φανέρωσέ το γρήγορα
** (ΣΥΝΕΧΙΖΕΙ ΚΑΡΚΙΝΙΚΑ / ΔΙΑΒΑΖΕΤΑΙ ΑΠΟ ΚΑΤΩ ΠΡΟΣ ΤΑ ΠΑΝΩ)

φανέρωσέ το γρήγορα
ζωή να τ' ονομάσεις
σαν θέλεις παραμύθι

του ανθρώπου μοίρα είναι αυτή
να κρέμεται ανέλπιδος και άπιστος στο τόσο
και πίσω στο σκοτάδι
