Reviews for Cavafy´s Alexandria: Expanded Edition
Winner of the 2000 Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation, PEN American Center "Attempting a comprehensive and coherent critical sighting of Cavafy's life work, Keeley classifies and analyzes the entire canon, including the more significant unpublished poems, and in this context comments with sensitivity and clarity on some of the best-known and most difficult poems."
