About the author
Observing what
time leaves behind.
Maria Toloudi writes to hold close the people, memories and landscapes that shape a life.
Her work is a personal archive of a homeland: its people, its labour and craft, its colours, flavours and forgotten scents. It is an invitation to look more closely at what surrounds us and to preserve it from oblivion.
Through short stories and poems, she shares what has touched her — with love, obligation, fear, pride, sorrow, anxiety and joy.
