Hypocrisy Has a Face and Other Writings - Dina Kafiris

Motivated by a desperate desire to understand the cosmopolitan city of Athens where her ancestors once roamed, Dina Kafiris found herself on a journey to discover the true meaning of what it means to be an Athenian.

As Kafiris struggled to integrate into the new society she was now living in, jotted-down poems and notes acted as a diary, a memoir.

Evolving into her first full-length poetry collection, Hypocrisy has a Face emerged as a response to her environment and the events that overshadowed the country at the time of writing, establishing a realistic image of Athenian life in the first decade of the 21^st Century, breaking down stereotypes and offering an intimate knowledge of the city and its people.

These powerful poems explore how the political landscape of a city can impact our existence whilst constantly inspiring the reinvention of our identity. Hypocrisy has a Face shows the resilience of the citizen in times of personal conflict and crisis.
