Synopsis

The first English translation of legendary Greek poet George Seferis’s lesser-known political, satiric, and erotic poetry as well as previously unseen material from his diaries.

Poet, diplomat, and literary critic George Seferis (1900-1971) won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1963. He is known to most readers as a myth-loving modernist. BOOK OF EXERCISES II -- a multi-genre volume, containing political, satiric, erotic, panegyric, and calligraphic poems drawn from the poet's diaries between 1931 to 1971 -- opens up a hitherto unknown Seferis to English-language readers, offering a closer look at his creative process, opinions, and personal life.
