Nota Manta

I was born in Kalamos, a beautiful village near Athens. I studied classic guitar, with advanced studies in theory and counterpart. I live on the family estate with my lovely daughter Mania, our 5 Greek shepherd dogs and our 9 cats. My father’s influence contributed catalytically in shaping my character and my imagination. Being a person who loved nature, animals, people, and God, he would narrate to me and my two sisters various stories with supernatural creatures, which awoke our fear at night but also aroused our curiosity for other worlds, mysterious and distant...

With such a role model, I started to be drawn to poetry at the age of 12 and to adore the work of Greek poets. That was when my muse entered my mind and my soul, reciting in the rich language, full of lyricism, images, and emotions given to us by the gods.

Poetry can be seen both as a perpetual journey, but also as a revolution with the imprint of our experiences.

The poet, like the wolf, walks alone in the wilderness, howling.

I hope my howls join the howls of readers who left their innermost thoughts unspoken and their desires unexpressed.
