Walter Puchner is a shareholder of Greek thought in its deepest version. And indeed by decision and choice. Not by chance or coincidentally. To mock in this way with his example the gene guardians and blood counters of our land, the illiterate and unrecorded chauvinists, that persist in their childish doctrine that "A Greek is born, not made." The prolific author, with dozens of books of theatrical and folkloric content, with a published work of tens of thousands of pages, from his poems, from his most personal, deepest and most dangerous version of his writing, publishes only Selections, only an Anthology. The poet does not select poems from those already published but from the unpublished ones. And he notifies us about it. As if he wants to suggest the idea that his desire is to speak through self-criticism and silence.
