In a volume of 700 pages, Emeritus Professor of Modern Greek Literature Theodosios Pylarinou approaches the entire work of Antonis Fostieris, one of the most significant contemporary poets with a continuous presence of half a century in Greek letters, with a primary body of ten collections to his credit, a crucial contribution to our poetic landscape, and twenty-five translations of his books in foreign countries.

The extensive study (perhaps the most extensive for a living poet) includes two main parts: The first analyzes in detail the themes of the poems and each collection separately, while the second explores the expressive means, the various rhetorical figures, and other morphological phenomena found in his work (oxymorons, metonymies, duplications, alliterations, homophones, aversions, ambiguities, visualizations, paraphrases, intertexts, etc.), categorized by type and category, with plenty of documented examples.

The study is complemented by a detailed Appendix, which includes a complete bibliography, references, critical surveys, translations, artistic representations, musical adaptations, events, sources, and indexes of names and titles.
