Cavafy (the greatest of all modernist Greek poets), Surrealist and Nobel Prize winner Odysseus Elytris, Nobel Prize winner George Seferis, Yannis Ritsos, Angelos Sikelianos, and almost a hundred others. There have been other anthology of modern Greek poetry but never an anthology as comprehensive as this. With the aid of some of the best contemporary Greek poets and translators working today, Valaoritis and Maskaleris provide ample proof that Greece has given the world some of the finest poetry of the century. They provide not only generous selections from internationally celebrated poets but also from younger writers who are playing key roles in international literary world today. This is an essential book for anyone concerned with literature in our time.
