The Collected Poems: with parallel Greek text (Oxford World's Classics)

'a Greek gentleman in a straw hat, standing absolutely motionless at a slight angle to the universe' E. M. Forster

E. M. Forster's description of C. P. Cavafy (1863-1933) perfectly encapsulates the unique perspective Cavafy brought to bear on history and geography, sexuality and language in his poems. Cavafy writes about people on the periphery, whose religious, ethnic and cultural identities are blurred, and he was one of the pioneers in expressing a specifically homosexual sensibility. His poems present brief and vivid evocations of historical scenes and sensual moments, often infused with his
distinctive sense of irony. They have established him as one of the most important poets of the twentieth century.

This volume presents the most authentic Greek text of the 154 authorized poems ever published, together with a new English translation that conveys the accent and rhythm of Cavafy's individual tone of voice.
