Publisher's Synopsis
"Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke's last major published book "Losing Appetite For Existence" won the prestigious Greek State Prize for Poetry in 2012*. The book is enormously cohesive, each poem illustrating yet another aspect of "losing one's appetite", a cohesion apparent from the opening poem as if the poet wanted to to make it clear that a large part of her growing sense of the tastelessness of existence her loss of appetite for it was in fact the loss of being personally aroused by her encounter with the world"--.
