Their inexorability both enthralls and dismays him, and one of the things that gives the poetry its rare steadiness is his ability to penetrate past circumstance into what is sensed as fate - sensed not only by the poet but by his protagonists and his readers also. Everywhere in these poems there is reverie and hedonism, irony and antiquarianism, but we can never identify the poet himself as a pure and simple daydreamer or hedonist or ironist or antiquarian. Even so, the plane of regard is not over-elevated: the human predicament here is presented neither as divine comedy nor fully blown tragedy, but is seen from a viewpoint located somewhere between Olympus and Gethsemance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[...] Content may be where these poems begin but they cannot attain their end without \"Cavafy's\" voicing.

He is the champion of light and truth, the high priest of beauty, whose duty it is to celebrate the world, proclaiming the cosmic message of love as that which cuts paths across the darkness. He knows only too well, however, that the poet’s voice, like God’s, is seldom heeded.","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b202504.jpg","isbn":"978-618-5048-30-3","isbn13":"978-618-5048-30-3","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":{"id":11528,"name":"Modern Greek Classics","books_count":31,"tsearch_vector":"'classics' 'greek' 'modern'","created_at":"2017-04-13T02:39:47.570+03:00","updated_at":"2017-04-13T02:39:47.570+03:00"},"pages":112,"publication_year":2015,"publication_place":"Αθήνα","price":"11.0","price_updated_at":"2015-06-08","cover_type":"Μαλακό εξώφυλλο","availability":"Κυκλοφορεί - Εκκρεμής εγγραφή","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":null,"publisher_id":70,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":202504,"url":"https://bibliography.gr/books/selected-poems-a660a20a-fa0f-4bae-b2ec-5eaaa9e15c0b.json"},{"id":74924,"title":"Collected Poems","subtitle":null,"description":"Certain of the poems in this book were written literally with the blood of the man who - on August 13th 1968 - made the valiant attempt to free Greece from the ridiculous Chief of the Colonels' dictatorship.

This selection, although first published by Princeton University Press nearly twenty years ago, still remains the only collection of his poetry in English in volume form. Both the English and Greek texts of this present edition have been emended. Included here are works from the full range of the poet's career and in his several voices -those of the lyricist, the narrator, the seer. The volume also offers samples of the poet's varied forms, from sonnets to longer narrative and reflective poems, each rendered in a metrical equivalent. An introduction outlines the principal stages of the poet's development as thinker and craftsman in relation to the particular translations included. \u003cbr\u003eFor Sikelianos everything in the natural and visibIe world, when rightly perceived, is an expression of a supernatural and invisible order of reality. The task of the prophet, sage, and poet is to reconcile the one world with the other, to heal the dichotomy between them through an act of creative mediation. With this in mind, Sikelianos uses myth not as a rhetorical device but as a mode for revealing the eternal divinities that inhabit the physical world. In his Iate poems, myth becomes the agency for uniting his subjective and narrative voices into a sublime tragic vision.
