Giorgos Maniatis on Chronis' work
A cornet of sorrow
Everything maneuver, basset and brighten our mind and soul in the poetry collection " A cornet of sorrow". It looks like a small book but it hides a universe. The universe of our consciousness, the Greek one, that seems to embrace and supervise all the contemporary happenings. We made all the things around us but we can understand and explain them better from the others, if we want to, of course. Vaggelis Chronis, with self-sacrifice, came into this painful poetic process of self- consciousness and achieved it deservedly. With this poetic book, he certainly leaves his mark. " -
