Poetry recital with Eleni Kefala and Peter Constantine

This evening recital celebrates Greek culture through poetry and translation, bringing literature to life in a live performance setting. Eleni Kefala reads from Direct Orient, a 2024 collection that follows a Cypriot woman’s journey from Birmingham to Athens and reflects on migration, conflict, memory and women’s voices across time.

The event combines literary reading with academic context through the participation of Eleni Kefala and Peter Constantine, allowing the audience to hear the work performed and to engage with its themes in a focused setting. It is a free, in-person event open to all, and forms part of a wider Greek Week programme at St Andrews.
