MEDUSA is a present-day triptych, a rich and profoundly nuanced contemporary narrative, sensitive to all the immanent and minute shades of reality, aspiring to embrace and incorporate the whole spectrum of lived experience. This lively, alert, highly critical, cynical, daring and often intrepid portrait of our age, this unyielding reckoning, offers us a large-scale panorama filtered through the subjectivity of the poet, which is the strategy of Manolis Aligizakis to embrace, appropriate and refigure reality. The vividness of his imagery and the richness of the moments of lived experience and enacted narratives make our journey into the inextricable intertwining of his inner world not only memorable but pleasurable as well. The poetry of Manolis Aligizakis confirms the postulation not only of the primacy of being, but of being as action and involvement. His poetic world is continually in the process of taking shape and being formed. This ceaseless becoming is the very essence of his intellectual and artistic universe. When it comes to these texts, to engage in hermeneutics is to engage in a reflection of openness and dialogue. The fragmented narrative serves the enlargement of the horizon of our experiences by an immersion in the inexhaustible divergent possibilities of alternative subjectivity. The poetry of Manolis Aligizakis is a valid, cogent and timely exhortation, a perennial admonition endeavouring to disclose the hidden and mysterious dynamics of consciousness and the underlying metaphorical architecture of our lives in a new hermeneutical framework of poetic truth.
