Words (can) do it: Stella Voskaridou + Stergios Mitas

Presentation

Hellenic American Union Theater

At the first Words (can) do it event of 2026, we discover poetry through the eyes of Stella Voskaridou and Stergios Mitas

This is the 18th event in the “Words (can) do it” series in the “1 + 1” format, where two poets read older and newer poems of their own, share poems they love, and engage in conversation with each other and with the audience.

On such a night / hands will speak with memories / time will dilate. [1]
Now I feel within me something like persistent temples pounding. [2]
