Description
Partly an addendum to George Economou's versions of the canonical Cavafy poems, published by Shearsman in 2013, this volume also includes a number of Economou's own uncollected poems and translations, giving us a picture of both poet and translator, as well as a shadowy image of Cavafy himself, in the form of versions of the master's uncompleted poems.
