Maria Polydouri was a Greek born poet, born in Kalamata (Greece) in 1902. Despite choosing to study Law, she often dedicated her efforts to poems and literature, and became one of the voices of the Generation of 1920 in Greece. She had an affair with fellow poet and major Greek artist Kostas Karyotakis, whom she loved and never had closure with, despite the end of their romance. “Οι Τρίλλιες που Σβήνουν” (“The Trilles That Faint”; 1928) and “Ηχώ στο χάος” (“Echo In Chaos”; 1930) are her only publications.
