Márkos Méskos is considered one of the most significant and influential contemporary poets in Greece. However, his poems had not been translated into German until now. Finally, a selection of his work is available. "Bring me three words and I will build you the ship of the world," writes Márkos Méskos in The Poetry Advocacy, his aphorisms on poetry from 2015. Three words, when united into a poem or song, not only create images and sounds but also entice one on a journey into the unknown. Into new worlds, with new words, new values. The fact that this newness often disappears again, not being further developed from poem to poem as it turns to other new things, makes the poetry of Márkos Méskos so diverse and unique.
