In his collection ‘White Line’, Dimitris Chiotopoulos has already given proof of his poetic authenticity by calmly depicting his passion for the things of earth and sky. Every one of his poems is a seemingly simple brushstroke, vibrant with the dynamism of suggestive references that distinguish it from all the rest.
Now, with his collection ‘Hundred Days of Spring’, Chiotopoulos confirms his compositional ability and reveals a slight deviation from his previous course. His brushstrokes still have their selfhood but are incorporated into a broader and almost philosophical conception whose individual tesserae they are. Also, his unrestrained passion has given place to a ripe reflectiveness. But what powerfully permeates his poetry through time is the sensitivity with which he trains his painterly gaze on the encounter of his awakening of consciousness with the kaleidoscopic universe and Man’s stark historical condition.
