Synopsis

Sometimes words are ghosts dancing with myth and memory. Greek-Canadian poet Manolis Aligizakis demonstrates this in Impulses, his new collection of poems. His poetry springs from a congenital intimacy with a culture and its history. In essence, we are before a poetic glance that is also a revolving metaphor encircling feelings from a Mediterranean philosophy.

Poets tend to be witnesses of paradoxes and to recreate them; it's not a compromise between logic and the rational, it's an absolute nouveau reality. With this new book, Manolis tells us that poetry is an affirmation of the soul, a witness for the dream. Fine poetry, there is.
