Nifitsa by Eleni Philippou is a richly textured, bilingual meditation on love, departure and political inheritance, moving through the topographies of Greece with lyric intensity and intellectual depth. Drawing on modern Greek folklore, personal memory, and contemporary protest, the poems shift between the intimate and the historical, often locating eros and estrangement within landscapes of ruin and beauty. Weasels, street dogs, ancient coastlines and revolutionary ghosts haunt the margins, while themes of metamorphosis, translation and absence give shape to the collection's three-part arc. The result is a deeply sensuous and formally controlled work, both elegy and invocation, grounded in the elemental and the felt.
