Petros Spinos
Alien Prayers - poetic collection
How important is writing to you?
Writing is a psychotherapeutic way of expression, the importance of which is evaluated in a different light when the original destination of the creation concerns only the author. Significance not necessarily related to literary merit, but to its authenticity. The American-Canadian Nobel laureate Saul Bellow says that "You never have to change anything about something you got up in the middle of the night to write." Because poetry, unlike other art forms, is beautiful when you don't sculpt the raw utterance of speech. It fascinates when it exists to vindicate through amateurism and authenticity only itself and in no case exclusively the author.
"Communication and human contact play a key role in any collaboration. At the Pigi publishing house, everyone showed excessive zeal so that my work was highlighted in an ideal way. And they succeeded.”
How did you feel when your book was published and you held it in your hands for the first time?
Satisfaction, because the book I was holding in my hands corresponded perfectly to exactly what I had all these years in my mind.
Why do you think you made the right choice with Pigi Publications and the iWrite.gr workshops?
Communication and human contact play a key role in any collaboration. At the Pigi publishing house, everyone showed excessive zeal so that my work was highlighted in an ideal way. And they succeeded.
"With his "Alother's Prayers", Petros proved that he is not only a very capable young scientist-physician, but also a sensitive person with many experiences, performances and artistic concerns throughout his life. He wanted to capture this "journey" in an elegant poetic collection, which immediately catches the reader's eye and introduces him to a world revealing to his spirit and soul."
