Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-02 00:00:00 Susana Ortiz I dearly love Cavafy, but this biography is a train wreck! I have purchased Cavafy's Alexandria by renowned translator Edmund Keeley, which looks like it is far more up to the task.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-12-31 00:00:00 Karen Rubino I'm not sure if I like this translation more than Rae Delven's (think I spelled that right), but this one definitely has more poems. Besides Pessoa and along with Milosz and Celan, the greatest 20th Century poets. (Many would say Neruda, Parra, Vallejo, Herbert, Bachmann, Einzenbergr, Ahkmatova, and Hikmet I guess)
