Following in the spirit of his acclaimed \u003ci\u003eGuide to Greece\u003c\/i\u003e, Kalogeris conjures Winthrop, Massachusetts, as a central locus of lyric and elegiac memory. While the poems in \u003ci\u003eWinthropos\u003c\/i\u003e reach back into the Hellenic past for imagery and inspiration, they often reside in the American present of their conception, forging childhood memory and local custom into a work of meditative power and evocative beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge Kalogeris\u003c\/b\u003e has published three books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eGuide to Greece.\u003c\/i\u003e His work has received the James Dickey Poetry Prize and been selected by Christopher Ricks for the anthology \u003ci\u003eJoining Music with Reason.\u003c\/i\u003e He teaches literature and classics in translation at Suffolk University.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50382064681234,"sku":"9780807175675","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_41a05c72-5f0d-475c-97c8-33ab1a29e3f6.jpg?v=1728702172","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/winthropos-poems-9780807175675","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
