Maria Polydouri (Template:Lang-el; 1 April 1902 – 29 April 1930) was a Greek poet.
Life
Polydouri was born in Kalamata. She was a contemporary of Kostas Karyotakis, with whom she had a desperate but incomplete love affair. Although she wrote poetry from at an early age, her most important poems were written during the last four years of her life, when, suffering from consumption, she was secluded in an Athens sanatorium, where she died in 1930.
Work
Critic and poet Kostas Stergiopoulos wrote: "Maria Polydouri used to write her poems as if she was writing her personal diary. The transmutation happened automatically and effortlessly. To Polydouri, expression meant straight transcribing from the facts happenning in her emotional world to the poetic language with all the idealizations and exaggerations her romantic nature dictated to her".[1]
Works
Collections:
- The chirps that faint (1928)
- Echo over chaos (1929)
Her poems (or at least a part of them) have been translated to Bulgarian, Catalan, Dutch, German, French, Italian, Macedonian, Romanian, Spanish and Swedish.[2]
