One of the dynamic goals of the Hellenic Cypriot Cultural Association / HCCA is the development of Cultural Diplomacy, i.e., the promotion abroad of the art works and of the translated literature of Greeks, Cypriots and Expatriates to foreign-speaking countries and, conversely, the «importation» of excellent works by foreign creators to be appreciated by Greeks and Cypriots. With the poetry collection "Interim Report On Growing Up"of the talented young poet Alexandros Chronides, our HCCA opens a new path, whereas a writer writes his book directly in English. It’s indeed very interesting for the foreigners to read a young poet of today's Cyprus, who despite of the adventures of his country, he walks and walks and to search and discover a heroic exit and solutions of some problems, sometimes becoming a violent observer and sometimes a mere expert. Chronides, urges us to adopt the word "We" the single word of beneficial essence. As a young man, he struggles to go beyond the limits imposed on him, in order to have something nice to achieve as a human being, to justify his existence. In front of miserable people, morals dazzled, stars hidden, the poet puts a dress over the naked body of Jesus. READ MORE HERE + BOOK ORDER AVAILABLE
