In two poems, an anthropologist speaks to the timelessness and constant change of the minority language Griko in the Italian landscape.
Beginning in 2016, the Turkish government accused anyone with the messaging application ByLock of terrorism.

I also stress how Griko has had breath and life in poetry. Indeed, it has reached us today in part through poems composed by locals who often see it as a language of the past.

So though you may not hear Griko in daily conversations, you can listen to Griko speakers recite their poetry as part of festivals or as shared on social media.
