“The shark entered the harbor, and they shouted five or six: ‘It will eat us,’ but in his shop, Zacharias was considering going to Hawaii. Now at the edge of the square, a poor clerk is slowly dying in the belly of the shark, the merchant.” (excerpt from the book)

Vasilis Kaniaris, in this work, shares with us his thoughts on everything that troubles, concerns, or simply impresses him. These are poems with a high immediacy in verse, which not only hint at things but dare to express them clearly.

Moments from the real world, filled with deep humanism, which seem to want to exorcise the woes and create an ideal world. Through humor and, in some cases, subtle irony, he addresses social and political issues, explains the psychology and problems of modern man, empathizes, and sings the griefs and wounds he bears.

Vivid images bounce through his verses with a distinctive expression, full of realism without ostentation, regarding the essence of human existence.
