A Broken Man in Flower

David Harsent’s book “A Broken Man in Flower” is an anthology of poetry by a notable Greek poet of the past century Yannis Ritsos. The poems that were composed during Ritsos’s incarceration and house detention capture the innovative and avant-garde spirit of his writing. A fascinating letter written by Ritsos to his publisher in 1969, detailing his life under the oppressive Colonels’ reign, is included in the book.
