December 2025 - Commemorating the Great 20th Century Greek Poet Andreas Empeirikos:

The Greek Nationality Room of the Nationality Rooms and Intercultural Exchange Program at the University of Pittsburgh and the American Hellenic Foundation of Western Pennsylvania (AHFWP) in collaboration with the European Art Center of Greece (EUARCE), have come together to celebrate the life and unique cultural treasures left to the world by the great Greek poet and man of letters, Andreas Empeirikos. The Website presents readings of his lesser known works, as well as two essays that bring to the fore novel insights including into how his craft can be linked to some of America’s renowned poets and literary movements of the 20th century. Last, we present new poetic and music works inspired by his art.”
