Nikos Gatsos
12听books24听followersNikos Gatsos was a notable Greek poet, translator and lyricist.
Nikos Gatsos was born in a small village of Peloponnese. Following high school, he moved to Athens, where he studied literature, philosophy, and history at the University of Athens for two years only. In Athens he entered the literary circles of the era and published his poems, small in extent and in a classic style, in the magazines Nea Estia (1931-32) and Rythmos (1933). During that period he also published criticism works for Makedonikes Imeres (螠伪魏蔚未慰谓喂魏苇蟼 螚渭苇蟻蔚蟼), Rythmos (巍蠀胃渭蠈蟼), and Nea Grammata (螡苇伪 螕蟻维渭渭伪蟿伪) (for Kostis Bastias, Myrtiotissa, and Thrasos Kastanakis, respectively).
In 1935 he move to Paris, France and then to the South of France.
In 1936 he met Odysseus Elytis, his lifelong companion in poetry.
In 1943, Aetos published his long poem Amorgos, a major contribution to contemporary Greek poetry notable especially for its combination of surrealism with traditional Greek folk poetry motifs. He subsequently published three more poems: "Elegeio" (1946) in Filologika Chronika, "The Knight and Death" (螣 喂蟺蟺蠈蟿畏蟼 魏喂 慰 胃维谓伪蟿慰蟼) (1947), and "Song of Old Times" (韦蟻伪纬慰蠉未喂 蟿慰蠀 蟺伪位喂慰蠉 魏伪喂蟻慰蠉) (1963), dedicated to Yorgos Seferis, in Tachydromos magazine.
Following World War II, he worked with the Greek-British Review as a translator and with Ellinik铆 Radiofon铆a as a radio director. During that period he also began writing lyrics for the music of Manos Hadjidakis and developed a remarkable career in modern Greek songwriting. In due course he also collaborated with Mikis Theodorakis and other major composers.
His work as a whole combines universal poetic themes such as the problems of evil, injustice, sacrifice, and the pains of love, with more specifically Greek concerns such as the sorrows of exile.
His capability in handling language with accuracy led the "Art Theatre", the "National Theatre" and the "Popular Theatre" of Greece to entrust him with translations of various plays -translations that became "legendary"- first and foremost being "Blood Wedding" by Federico Garcia Lorca.
He had a special relationship with Manos Hadjidakis and Nana Mouskouri, as well as Philip Sherrard, Peter Levi and Peter Jay, and Desmond O'Grady.
In 1987 he was awarded a special prize by the Municipality of Athens for his contribution to literary art as a whole and in 1991 the Royal Academy of Good Letters of Barcelona awarded him honorary membership for his contribution to the dissemination of Spanish literature in Greece.
