This concise and practical anthology aims to present a representative picture of Greek poetry throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

It is divided into five parts, arranged historically, and is accompanied by informative introductory essays: "Poets of the early twentieth century," "Modern and contemporary poets of the Interwar period," "Postwar poets," "Poets of the metapolitefsi," and "Poets of the first quarter of the twenty-first century." Thus, it highlights the coexistence of traditional and modern poetry, minor and major poets, current and established works of the canon.

The anthology primarily reconnects the older voices with ideal and beloved ones. It aspires to transmit their sound to future readers of the twenty-first century—those who will hurriedly browse its pages, stumble upon something that touches them, and return to explore more carefully, to find their "favorites."

Like a bouquet of roses, the anthology is offered to both experts and amateurs, with the hope that they will enjoy reading it, holding in their hands a gift—a silver poem—with genuine emotion.
