The Books We Read in High School (Part 2)
Hello, I am Sofia Canauti, and in high school I read Ipsikaminos, which is Greek for blast furnace. And it is a collection of poems by Andreas Embirikos, a Greek poet. And this magical, heavenly and hellish world that he was creating was amazing to see because it was free, it was sexual, it was absolutely beyond the norm of a stagnant society.

And it freed my thought, my life, and most importantly, it freed my language, which meant actually that I could create more life. It was amazing, and I'm eternally grateful.
