(P/B) SEFERIS: COMPLETE POEMS

Παρουσίαση

'In their final form, these translations carry the accumulated authority of the previous editions, the admiration that has justly accrued to them, and more distantly, the sanction of the poet himself.' (RODERICK BEATON, MODERN POETRY IN TRANSLATION)

George Seferis (1900-1971) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1963. Truthful and magical, his poetry has captivated both Greek and foreign readers. Aptly described by Charlotte Du Cann as 'the unlocker of ancient stones and sea voyages', Seferis was for Peter Levi 'one of the greatest writers in this century in any language. ... From Seferis it was possible to learn... what seriousness about poetry is.'

Edmund Keeley is a novelist and critic as well as translator of Greek poetry. He lives in Princeton, NJ. With Philip Sherrard he also edited Odysseus Elytis's Selected Poems (1981), and collaborated on the Collected Poems of Cavafy and the Selected Poems of Sikelianos.
Philip Sherrard (1922-1995) lived on the island of Evia. His many works include two well-known studies of modern Greek literature, The Marble Threshing Floor and The Wound of Greece. His selected poems In the Sign of the Rainbowwas published in 1996. (From the book cover)
