This representative selection from the work of one of modern
Greece's most fascinating poets was made shortly after his award of
the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1979. It is drawn from all
periods of his distinguished career and traces his development from
early surrealism, in which he transforms French influence into a
distinct personal voice and mythology, through the dramatic style
of "The Axion Esti" with its blend of spirituality and earthiness,
up to the later work in which he experiments with new modes for
expressing his perennial themes. The poems are chosen, introduced
and mainly translated by the leading translators of modern Greek
poetry, Edmund Keeley and the late Philip Sherrard, whose
collaborations also included translations of Seferis, Cavafy and
Sikelianos. Other contributors to the book include George Savidis,
Nanos Valaoritis and John Stathatos.
