Ipsikaminos

Blast-Furnace
Book •
Ipsikaminos, or 'Blast-Furnace,' is the first purely surrealist Greek text and the debut poetic collection of Andreas Embirikos.

Published in 1935, it stands out for its heretical and cryptic nature, lacking punctuation and featuring a unique, extravagant language.

The collection was a commercial success, largely due to its scandalous and innovative style, which marked a significant shift in modern Greek poetry and introduced surrealism to Greek literature.
