Charalambides, Selected Poems.

Charalambides, Kyriakos [Delanty, Greg trans.].

Selected Poems.

First Edition. Cork, Southword Editions, 2005. Octavo. 64 pages. Original Softcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. Signed by both author and translator.

Kyriakos Charalambides is one of the most renowned and celebrated living Greek poets. His poetry, essays, translations and critical analysis celebrate the ideas of Western civilisation, expressed through the language and history of Greek culture. His poetic opus adds to the tradition established by such modern Greek poets as Constantine P. Cavafy, Giorgos Seferis and Odysseas Elytis. His poetry though holds steadfastly to the Greek Cypriot linguistic register. He was born on January 31, 1940, in Achna, in the Famagusta District of Cyprus. In 2008, he has been elected by the Senate of the University of Cyprus to serve on its Council. (Wikipedia).
