Constantine Cavafy

Avi Sharon

WINNER OF THE HAROLD MORTON LANDON TRANSLATION AWARD FROM THE ACADEMY OF AMERICAN POETS 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 Alexandria's 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 Sharon's sensitive translations.
