Close to 100 people gathered for the presentation of Ioanna Liakakou’s sixth poetry collection «Της μοναξιάς και της αγρύπνιας» (Loneliness and Vigil) at Pontiaki Estia in Brunswick.
Tackling similar subjects to her previous works, though with a greater air of maturity, Liakakou’s thirteenth book deals with themes of love, life, romance, exile, nostalgia, alienation, war and peace.
Presenting the book was Andrea Garibaldis, with opening messages delivered by Ioannis Pilalidis of Pontiaki Estia, president of the Greek Australian Cultural League of Melbourne Cathy Alexopoulos and Thimios Haralambopoulos, president of the Greek Writers Association of Australia.
