C. P. Cavafy – Bara idag

The acclaimed translation of the most important modern Greek poetC. P. Cavafy (18631933) 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 Sherrards celebrated English translation of Cavafys collected poems captures the poets 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.
