edit data

Dimitrios Spyridon Chytiris (Δημήτριος Σπυρίδων Χυτήρης) was born in Corfu, Greece in 1982. He studied at Vella Academy in the city of Ioannina and returned to Corfu island after finishing his service in the Greek Army in 2008.
He enjoys very much to listen to good music and travel as much as possible but above all he loves reading and collecting books. His personal library contains more than 900 books so far. Chytiris considers reading to be very intimate and sacred and often says:

"Once I finish a book, especially a good one, it's very hard for me to start reading a new one right away. It almost feels like cheating! I need my time to be able to move on to the next one"

The Problem with Jane Eyre

The problem with Jane Eyre

I am expected to like Jane Eyrebecause it’s a classic.

No, let me rephrase that. I amexpected to like Jane Eyre because of the way Brontë chose to present herstory, introducing elements such as first-person perspective and feministthemes in a revolutionary manner, much different from the approaches of hertime.

Much like Hippocratesrevolutionised medicine almos

Then you would dance the night, now you wear the night,
It is an accessory to hide you from everyone”

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
