New York: Princeton University Press, 1992 Book. Illus. by Trans. Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard. Fine. Soft cover. Revised Edition. Here is an extensively revised edition of the acclaimed translations by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard., which capture Cavafy's mixture of formal and idiomatic use of language and preserve the immediacy of his frank treatment of homosexual themes, his brilliant creation of history, and his astute political ironies. The re-setting of this edition has permitted the translators to review each poem and to make alterations where appropriate. George Savvidis has revised and amplified his notes in keeping with the latest edition of the Greek text of Cavafy.284p. notes bibliography.

Surrey BC: Libros Libertad, 2008 Book. Illus. by Translated By Manolis Aligizakis. New Book from Publisher. Soft cover. First Thus.. Manolis (translator), George Amabile (Editor) " Translations, like everything else, wear out over time, as language, and those who read or use it, change. With a poet like Cavafy, who was so precisely tuned to the idiom of his peers, it is even more important to update the English versions of his poems frequently, so that they have the same immediate resonance with the times as the originals had with their time. This is, of course, an impossible task. There is no single word, much less any phrase, that has exactly the same weight and hierarchy of primary and secondary meanings in another language. Add to that the differences in sound patterns and rhythmic signatures or emphases, and it becomes clear that the best one can do is to approximate, sometimes by straying from the awkwardness of literal, dictionary definitions, the poetic effects of the original poems.…
