It is drawn from all periods of his distinguished career and traces his development from early surrealism, in which he transforms French influence into a distinct personal voice and mythology, through the dramatic style of "The Axion Esti" with its blend of spirituality and earthiness, up to the later work in which he experiments with new modes for expressing his perennial themes. The poems are chosen, introduced and mainly translated by the leading translators of modern Greek poetry, Edmund Keeley and the late Philip Sherrard, whose collaborations also included translations of Seferis, Cavafy and Sikelianos. Other contributors to the book include George Savidis, Nanos Valaoritis and John Stathatos.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Poetry & DramaLanguage: EnglishISBN-10: 0856463558Item Length: 12mmItem Height: 233mmType: PoetryRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
