George Mouratidis is launching his first poetry collection, Angel Frankestein, in Melbourne on Wednesday the 28th of November. He spoke to SBS Greek about his memories as a second generation Greek-Australian, the neighborhoods of his childhood, bilingualism, dreams and aspirations of his generation but also of generations gone by.
George Mouratidis' verses, gentle and sharp, cradle and smash at the same time. He asks questions that linger unuttered on our lips:
I hear you, σύντροφε
because the thought of ever burying you leaves me lost –
What do I do then? What happens to The Struggle
when you stop coming around?
There will be nowhere near enough
carnations in this world, none
red enough to cover you.
