"The Great Friday" by Stratis Paschalis is a composite poem that revolves around the death of myth, the adventurous internal journey of the modern human, and the search for escape through the redemptive trial offered by love.
Building on the drama and contemplative lyricism of "The Waste Land," it constitutes a timeless poetic palimpsest of excerpts from both Greek and foreign poetic works, centered on the legend of the Dead God.
At the same time, it captures a personal experience of nihilistic disorientation during the years of economic and health crises, with the ultimate goal of a desperate attempt for alchemical transformation into myth and beauty from the materials of a prevailing spiritual and social dystopia.
In the second part of the book, titled "The Wall with the Red Bougainvillea," individual poems that were born during the same period are gathered, reflecting the same concerns but also addressing the issue of Greek identity during a time of deconstruction and redefinition.
