His third book brings us under a bridge where 'others' inhabit the unseen spaces most of us never look into or hear the rumble from characters: “With the people from the bridge,” his third book in his trilogy, even the word trilogy enlightens the space between words and reader. His poetry is real, really a long conversation with who we have become as a community. Dimitris Lyacos is not one of them he is not a saint (at least I don't think he is.) He is mysterious or enigmatic. Are there saintly writers of poetry? Yes. The Greeks are familiar with “mysterious.” Particularly, when a situation, conundrum, experience cannot be explained, a Greek- minded person might exclaim, it is a mystery! Mystery has become synonymous with Orthodoxy and saints.
