From the publisher's blurb: ''The discovery of new poems by a great poet thirty years after his death is 'archaeological' in its unexpected delight. Such as experience is exotic in the highest sense -- as in the reading experience offered here. Unlike most poetry of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Cavafy's work is totally stripped of simile and metaphor. The poems offered here, n the most successful translation of Cavafy to date and the first collection to appear with facing Greek text.''

Cavafy (1863-1933) lived in relative obscurity in Alexandria, and a collected edition of his poems was not published until after his death. Now, however, he is regarded as the most important figure in twentieth-century Greek poetry, and his poems are considered among the most powerful in modern European literature. This revised bilingual edition of Collected Poems offers the reader the original Greek texts facing what are now recognized as the standard English translations of Cavafy's poetry. It is this translation that best captures the poet's mixture of formal and idiomatic language and that preserves the immediacy of his increasingly frank treatment of homosexual eroticism, his brilliant re-creation of history, and his astute political ironies. This new bilingual edition also features the notes of editor George Savidis and a new foreword by Robert Pinsky.

They divide his poetry into 'historical, philosophical, erotic', and discuss the poems they have chosen under these three headings. Their versions of them do full justice to Cavafy's irony, his tenderness and to the increas64 pp. ingly simple language in which he voiced them.
