George Seferis: Collected Poems - Softcover
Book 7 of 23: The Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation
Synopsis
George Seferis (1900-1971) has long been recognized as the greatest Greek poet of the age. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1963. As the translators suggest in their introductory essay, Seferis's contribution to Greek poetry lies both in his capacity for creating those universal metaphors that illuminate the deeper meanings of our times and in his stylistic purity, allowing no embellishment beyond that necessary for precise poetic statement.
This bilingual edition of the `Collected Poems' both supplements and revises earlier editions. It collects the complete "Notes for a `Week'", `Three Secret Poems', and three later poems that were not collected by the poet himself but whose English translation he authorized during his lifetime. The translators have made revisions in their versions of the 1924-1955 poems, aiming both at greater accuracy and stylistic decorum; the biographical and bibliographical notes have been updated, and notes have been added to the new translations. This edition is therefore the standard text of Seferis's poetry in English.
