Author Information

C. P. Cavafy (1863–1933) is the most important figure in twentieth-century Greek poetry, and his poems are considered among the most powerful in modern European literature. Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard’s celebrated English translation of Cavafy’s collected poems captures the poet’s mixture of formal and idiomatic language, the immediacy of his frank treatment of homoeroticism, his brilliant re-creation of history, and his astute political ironies. This English-only volume is a classic of modern poetry.

A major figure of modern Greek literature, he is sometimes considered the most distinguished Greek poet of the 20th century.His works and consciously individual style earned him a place among the most important contributors not only to Greek poetry, but to Western poetry as a whole.

Edmund Keeley (1928–2022) was a distinguished translator of modern Greek poetry and professor emeritus of English and creative writing at Princeton University.

Philip Sherrard (1922–1995) was lecturer in the history of the Orthodox Church at King’s College London.
