Hi Harry, I also think George Syrimis would be a good speaker.

Mike Keeley is always a great person to have as a speaker and as a reader...

Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 3:42 PM To: &#x27;cohsl-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu&#x27; Subject: [Cohsl-list] Elytis question Dear colleagues, The Greek Embassy here in Washington has proposed a joint program with LC to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of poet Odysseas Elytis. They are looking for (a) a scholar who could give a lecture on Elytis, (b) a poet who could do a reading of selected Elytis poems (in English). Before posting to the general MGSA list, I would like to gather ideas from you all, please let me know if you have any suggestions. Given the financial state of both Greece and LC these days, it is doubtful that travel expenses can be paid. Thanks for any ideas you can provide, Harry
