Poems from a Greek master

These books mark an important moment in publishing. Collected Poems presents, in careful, professional translations, virtually all the known poetry of Constantine P. Cavafy (1863-1933), one of the 20th century's best-known poets. The translator, Daniel Mendelsohn, an accomplished critic and classicist, is alive to the nuances of Greek. Best of all, he furnishes us with full, excellent notes to the life of Cavafy and to the poems.
