Ivonne Gordon’s work has been translated to Greek by several poets and translators, among them Stavros Girginis, who is a great poet and scholar of Greek literature and is the Editor of NOIMA. He say of Diosas prestadas:

“I feel very fortunate to have received as a gift -by the poetess herself- this excellent book, a book immersed in the world of ancient Greek myth. This is not a baroque reproduction of myths like that of the neoclassicism. No, it’s an original treatment of traditional material from a purely feminine perspective, through which the female deities finally conquer the dominant position they always deserved. Ivonne Gordon exemplifies the way a modern poet can create fine verses by speaking through the ancient cavernous voice of the divine time, a voice that sounds both old and modern at the same time. This collection of 50 ancient themed poems reveals simultaneously a profound knowledge of the material and a deep sense of self-knowledge.”
