About this title

Synopsis:

Poetry. Illustrated by Dieter Hall and translated from the Greek byGeorge Economou, C.P. Cavafy's I'VE GAZED SO MUCH presents an aspect of the erotic dimension of a poet whom the Times Literary Supplement called, "One of the greatest writers of our times." Cavafy was born in Egypt in 1863 and died there in 1933. He lived in England from the age of seven to sixteen, an experience that was to have a significant influence on his development as a poet. After a brief time in Constantinople, he spent the rest of his life in Alexandria, whose rich mix of races and cultures was a constant source of attraction to him.
