C. P. Cavafy (1863鈥�1933) is the most important figure in twentieth-century Greek poetry, and his poems are considered among the most powerful in modern European literature. Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard鈥檚 celebrated English translation of Cavafy鈥檚 collected poems captures the poet鈥檚 mixture of formal and idiomatic language, the immediacy of his frank treatment of homoeroticism, his brilliant re-creation of history, and his astute political ironies. This English-only volume is a classic of modern poetry.
