C. P. Cavafy (1863-1933) lived in relative obscurity in
Alexandria, and a collected edition of his poems was not published
until after his death. Now, however, he is regarded as the most
important figure in twentieth-century Greek poetry, and his poems
are considered among the most powerful in modern European
literature.
This revised bilingual edition of "Collected Poems" offers the
reader the original Greek texts facing what are now recognized as
the standard English translations of Cavafy's poetry. It is this
translation that best captures the poet's mixture of formal and
idiomatic language and that preserves the immediacy of his
increasingly frank treatment of homosexual eroticism, his brilliant
re-creation of history, and his astute political ironies. This new
bilingual edition also features the notes of editor George Savidis
and a new foreword by Robert Pinsky.
