Scotes, Vasiliki and Thomas J. A Weft of Memory: A Greek Mother’s Recollection of Songs and Poems. New Rochelle: Aristide D. Caratzas, 2008.
“A bilingual edition of songs and poems remembered by Vasiliki Scotes, an immigrant from Greece living in Pennsylvania since 1931, who, nearing 100 years old in 2004, sat down with her son, retired U.S. diplomat Thomas J. Scotes, in 2004 and for the next three years dictated as many songs as she could remember from her childhood in Theodoriana, Epirus. He intended to record and translate them for the benefit of her descendants, so that they would know something of her origins. Scotes accepted the challenge and began pulling at long-submerged threads of childhood memory, word by word, line by line. For the next three years she extracted verses she hadn’t heard recited or sung for more than 70 years. Ballads from the era of Greece’s Ottoman occupation, bandit songs from the Greek War of Independence, patriotic songs, and songs of holidays, love, marriage, absence and lament all came back to her. Thomas Skotes’ translations, photographs, annotations, and introduction together offer multi-layered context for appreciating the poems, which includes the 20th century layers of emigration.”
