Recites Terenti Graneli’s (1897/1934) – "Reminiscence in the wind"
"I listened to the song on the radio, performed by a band “Despani” from Rustavi. (I have a strange problem, I don’t hear texts of songs in either language). This text had a deep impact on me despite an early age. The verse has the same effect today, as it had in my childhood". - Giorgi Zagareli

Recites Contemporary poet Rati Amaglobeli's – "Anamnesis"

DAVID TURASHVILI - WRITER
Recites Otar Chiladze’s (1933/2009) – "Still rains outside"
"This poem was my enjoyable obsession when I was a student at Javakhishvili University.
Certainly, I was in love as well and maybe this was the reason why I got familiar with Otar Chiladze’s poetry, before even reading his novels. I thought he manifested everything whatever I desired to say at that time.
Although, after years, when I had read all his novels, I decided to re-read his poems and I enjoyed them greatly again.
I realized that I miss everything, related to that sweet period- snow and rain, the sun and freedom of the University…
And, surely, I miss love too" - David Turashvili
