Constantine CavaFy
1863 – 1933, greek (b. alexandria, egypt)
Selected Poems
Edited and Translated with Notes by
Avi Sharon
Winner of the Harold Morton Landon
Translation Award
Although the Greek poet Constantine
Cavafy died in obscurity, today he is
regarded as one of the most original
of twentieth-century poets. Whether
conjuring moments from Alexandria’s
ancient past, lyrically evoking homosexual
trysts, or painting exquisite miniatures of
everyday life, his poems exude a striking
inventiveness and staggering beauty,
qualities that are preserved here in Avi
Sharon’s sensitive translations.

The Blazing World and
Other Writings
Edited with an Introduction by Kate Lilley
These remarkable works of the flamboyant
Duchess of Newcastle reveal not only a
radical feminist, but a transgressor of
every literary and sexual role and code.
The title piece, depicting a utopia ruled by
a warrior queen, is the first work of science
fiction ever written.
