Donna Abbandonata (or, You Made Me Very Sad, My Dear Mr. George), 2014

2 female

Glikeria Basdeki

An ostensible monologue with the one we’re all afraid of as its addressee: the poet’s enemy. A monologue about the glorious moment when sadness pours over bodies, minds, the whole province of Kavala.
