It has been said that Odysseys Elytis' national and international
reputation as a poet has obscured the fact that he was an
accomplished prose writer and a sensitive critic as well. Born in
Crete in 1911 he published his first poems in 1935 and established
himself as one of the leading figures in the "Generation of the
Thirties" which also included Greece's other Nobel Laureate, George
Seferis. In 1979, Elytis was awared the Nobel Prize for literature.
His first volume of poetry "Open Book" was characterized by a
polemical and often apologetic tone, the texts in "Carte Blanche"
are more confessional and reflective, sometimes prophetic, yet
always poetic and with the same boldness of expression.
