Book Synopsis
C. P. Cavafy is one of the most important Greek poets since antiquity. He set in motion the most powerful modernism in early twentieth-century European poetry, exhibiting simple truths about eroticism, history, and philosophy. The Canon plays with the complexities of ironic Socratic thought, suffused with the honesty of unadorned iambic verse.
