Product Description
The spellbinding verse of one of the most distinctive poetic voices of the twentieth century
Although the Greek poet Constantine Cavafy died in obscurity, today he is regarded as one of the most original of twentieth-century poets. Whether conjuring moments from Alexandrias ancient past, lyrically evoking homosexual trysts, or painting exquisite miniatures of everyday life, his poems exude a striking inventiveness and staggering beauty, qualities that are preserved here in Avi Sharons sensitive translations.

I really like these poems, although they are classics they hold a very modern conversational quality to them.
