Odysseus Elytis is a pure and dedicated poet, whose work is abundant, original, and thrilling, wrote Peter Levi when Elytis (1911-96) was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1979. This is a representative selection of his poems, drawn from all periods of his distinguished career, tracing his development from early surrealism, through the dramatic style of The Axion Esti with its blend of spirituality and earthiness, up to his later work.

Review:
The present selection of Sikelianos's poetry . . . approaches, perhaps to the greatest degree possible, the rhythm and power of the Greek original. --Thanassis Maskaleris, The Hellenic Journal

The translators beautifully capture the numinous and heroic quality of the poet.
--Mary Renault
About the Author:
Born in Crete in 1911, Odysseus Elytis started publishing his poetry in the 1930s. In 1940-41 he took part in the campaign against the Italian fascists in Albania, and during the Nazi occupation he was one of the most prominent poets of the Greek resistance. The Nobel Prize was awarded to him `for his poetry, which against the background of Greek tradition, depicts with sensuous strength and intellectual clearsightedness modern man's struggle for freedom and creativeness.'
