A poem by the Greek poet Lambros Porfyras, 'Voices of the Sea', is being shared and read again, accompanied by a summer photograph from the island of Skopelos. The piece evokes drinking wine at a seaside tavern as the first autumn rains begin, with sailors and weathered fishermen facing the reader, capturing a nostalgic turn from summer to autumn that resonates with readers of Greek poetry.
Why now: The poem's contrast between summer memories and the arrival of the first autumn rains makes it timely as the season changes.
