Description
In this new edition of George Seferis's poems, the acclaimed translations by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard are revised and presented in a compact, English-only volume. The revision covers all the poems published in Princeton's earlier bilingual edition, George Seferis: Collected Poems (expanded edition, 1981).
Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1963, George Seferis (1900-71) has long been recognised as a major international figure, and Keeley and Sherrard are his ideal translators. They create, in the words of Archibald MacLeish, a "translation worthy of Seferis, which is to praise it as highly as it could be praised."
Although Seferis was preoccupied with his tradition as few other poets of the same generation were with theirs, and although he was actively engaged in the immediate political aspirations of his nation, his value for readers lies in what he made of this preoccupation and this engagement in fashioning a broad poetic vision. He is also known for his stylistic purity, which allows no embellishment beyond that necessary for precise yet rich poetic statement.

Time praises Seferis as a "deeply civilized and profoundly Greek man" whose work offers "a sense of honesty, a cool scorn for any kind of evasion." The Washington Post notes his unique blend of history, mythology, and modern humanity, likening his poetic sweep and delicacy to Yeats. The New Republic admires the serenity, vivid imagery, and confident rhetoric without sentimentality. The Times Literary Supplement lauds the translations for their dedication and insight, establishing them as standard for our time.
