Saying goodbye to Alexis Ziras with Andea Frantzis
Alexis Ziras, founding member of the Writers Guild and former Chairman of the Board of Administrators. he writes to her in her reminiscence:
For Andea Frantzis, the unforgettable one.
The very first thing I bear in mind about Andea is her welcoming reception within the basement, set within the harsh mild of fluorescent lamps, at 60 Dimoharos in stacks on the ground, and the one issues neatly organized in there, had been maybe -the legendary house of the Anti places of work, the problems of the journal that had already been launched, had been unfold out on an extended shelf on the wall. It was one among your favourite cares. A relentless effort to have an orderly nook (essentially) within the surrounding chaos that was typically a deadly companion to the keenness of youth that overwhelmed us. And initially we’re beneath the phantasm that we are actually writing historical past! 1976. In the course of the subsequent three or 4 years I typically there, typically writing on the final minute, “on the marble” because the guide printers used to say, my colleagues, I crossed paths numerous instances with the de normally quiet, dedicated and devoted. (as I understood later) with what he did, Andea. She didn’t need to be seen, to draw consideration, nonetheless, the one who went down the steps Dimocharos didn’t need to take a lot to grasp that she was one of many few individuals there, along with her presence, exuded stability and tranquility. in an surroundings that’s normally electrified, with shouts and explosions. Andreas Fragias was the opposite individual – I feel now – who left the same calm, when he occurred to return, going within the background, to the small workplace of Christos Papoutsakis. And another to recollect: the unusual determine, invisible in the present day, between the wars of the enthusiastic collector Dionysis Flambouras, which nobody mentions anymore.
Andea and I had been the identical age, however she was not attracted by the tendency of the time for haste and ease: to say and do all the things as rapidly as potential. The post-civilization that was then, as we had been one thing else, we didn’t see it with the double face (hopeful and ominous) of Janus. Though Andea was not removed from the assorted campaigns and politics, supporting, so far as I bear in mind, with girlish ferocity and a female angle of moderation, the “renewal on the left”, within the poetry she wrote on the time, i. ΄76-΄77 , he selected to face additional away, from a cooler observer place. Focusing extra on the interior, as an example a change, moderately than simply describing a sense. Which I might say hasn’t modified within the years that adopted. She was carried, for instance, by the “scattered life” of Matsis Hatzilazarou, she might have shared the wasted but in addition fruitful ardour for the boys in her life, from Andreas Empirikos and Andreas Kamba to Javier Vilatos, the flame of affection that burns all the things. . However he stood by her, and it was on her that she constructed her personal dense poetic language, the impermanence of expertise, which continues to be the spirituality of the physique, at the least within the method of her late sonnetography in Stefani (1993). I feel that this lack of haste, the holding of the space, the hesitation, the nervousness, the “restricted” course of with which her research on the Sorbonne proceeded then decided her low profession on the college. However did additionally they outline their very own lives, or was it like that and was their thoughts setting its personal tempo for all the things?
I’m not exaggerating, repeating right here that Andea took a part of our childhood along with her.
