With her understated irony and intimate voice, Dimoula transforms the “little” things of the world into universal reflections on existence and love.

This special commemorative issue of the Bank of Greece staff magazine “O Kyklos” was published in honor of Kiki Dimoula on November 5, 2013.
It gathers a selection of her early writings — poems, articles, travel impressions, and literary reflections — originally published between 1961 and 1964, when Dimoula worked at the Bank of Greece. These early texts already display her distinctive poetic sensitivity and penetrating insight into everyday human experience.
About the Author:
Vasiliki “Kiki” Dimoula (1931–2020) is widely regarded as one of the most celebrated Greek poets of the 20th century. Her introspective, philosophical, and emotionally charged poetry earned her numerous awards, including the European Prize for Literature (2009) and the Greek State Poetry Prize (twice). She was also the first female Greek poet published by Gallimard (France), cementing her international reputation.
Her work blends melancholy and humor, exploring the boundaries between memory, time, and human fragility — a style that has made her both critically acclaimed and deeply beloved.
Condition:
Both volumes are in very good vintage condition, with clean interiors and minor signs of handling. The author’s dedications are clear and well-preserved. Please see the photos for full details.
Significance:
Two signed editions by one of Greece’s most revered poets — a rare opportunity for collectors of modern Greek literature and international poetry.
