George Seferis's Complete Poems reissued as a Carcanet Classic.
George Seferis is the great Greek poet of the twentieth century, a
classic among classics. The formal and thematic versatility of his
work, its decisively modern inflections, call Eliot's poems to
mind: fastidious and expansive in equal measure. Like Eliot's
deep-rooted Modernism, Seferis's never loses touch with the stones
and inscriptions of the past. He writes for his and our time,
poetically and politically alert: culture can free us or,
misapplied, can trammel us. Aptly described as 'the unlocker of
ancient stones and sea voyages', Seferis was for Peter Levi `one of
the greatest writers in this century in any language. . . From
Seferis it was possible to learn. . . what seriousness about poetry
is.' And Archibald MacLeish wrote, 'if any contemporary poet can be
said to be essential, Seferis is that poet, and this' - referring
to an earlier edition of this book - 'is the true body of his
work'.
