About This Book
The collection gathers two linked series of lyrical poems that evoke rural and pastoral life in Epirus, depicting shepherds, peasants, seasonal work, festivals, and intimate scenes of field, flock, and village. Through vivid natural imagery—sunsets, springs, vineyards, and mountain paths—it records daily labors, songs, love-longing, and local customs, alternating rustic narrative with lyric observation. Occasional prologue and a short glossary aid understanding of regional words, while the poems emphasize communal rhythms, folk voice, and the sensory textures of countryside experience.
