Georgios Xenos

I listened to Nikos Karouzos in his poetry, in his talks, in his presence
in public spaces. I progressed alongside him. He fascinated me, he
made me think.

At a certain moment serendipity brought us together. We became
friends. The link of that friendship was my companion, Christina
Douvri.

NIKOS ON EXISTENCE

He listened like a composer, thought as a philosopher,
observed as a painter and felt as a child.
He knew and liked to play with the sound of lightning,
that arrived with the flash. He listened to the flash, grasped
the electrons and made poems. To be able
to climb upon them and observe that, truly,
potential in the heavens is only exhilarating.
