I had three lives: Selected poems of Mikis Theodorakis

“Theodorakis has already touched many lives in many country with his music alone. For those who understand Greek, the combination of his music with Greek poetry has been a lasting inspiration. His own poems were a response to the dramatic events of his life. Scribbled in prison cells and on barren islands, the are the work of a man who had three lives: one of heroic political struggle, one of boundless artistic creativity, and one of private loves and sorrows”.
