A radio show broadcast on movement.radio in October 2021, produced by Christina Magiaki and Vassilis Prodromou

This episode is an open discussion of poetry. Based mainly on a book – The Anthology of Contemporary Arabic Poetry – we have chosen and translated a selection of poems into Greek. Some of them are accompanied with music, others we have written ourselves. The program demonstrates some characteristics of Arabic poetry, but we aim also to raise awareness of how poetry helps and intervenes in our lives. It includes songs based on poems as well as our own narrations of poems from the Anthology. The musical accompaniment of our narrations is written by Vassilis Prodromou and performed by him and Christina Magiaki.
