Valaoritis, regarded as the most important poet of the Greek diaspora since Constantine Cavafy, has seen times even tougher than today, and recalls the dark days of World War II, the Nazi invasion, and people dying in the streets from hunger.
Valaoritis, koji se smatra najvažnijim pesnikom grčke dijaspore od Konstantina Kavafija, prošao je vremena gora od ovih i seća se mračnih dana Drugog svetskog rata, nacističke invazije i umiranja ljudi na ulicama od gladi.
