Startling and yet imaginatively right to see images of the Southwest here. Are those Anasazi cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde or Canyon de Chelly? Powerful images in any case. And the resonant voice of Sean Connery leading us from one to another, borne along by the current of Vangelis’s music. Lovely!

You should record a reading of this in Greek, Vassilis. Hmmmm?
Splendid and inspiring, qualities all great poetry should aspire to.
