Poetry Recital with Eleni Kefala and Peter Constantine
Speakers:
Dr Eleni Kefala (University of St Andrews)
Professor Peter Constantine (University of Connecticut)
Eleni Kefala reads from Direct Orient (2024), winner of the State Poetry Prize in Cyprus and the Academy of Athens G. Athanas Poetry Award (Greece), and shortlisted for the State Poetry Prize in Greece. Following a Cypriot woman's journey from Birmingham to Athens in 1973, the book unfolds against a rich literary backdrop, weaving family and world history into a meditation on migration, conflict, memory, and women's voices across time.
