I am Greek and I love the poetry of Kavafis. He is my favorite. I suggest you to read more from Greek poetry and particularly poetry by tasos leivaditis. You will love him.

~Glykia: YAY!!!! Yet another one delurked. :) Everyone say hi to Glykia

(crowd says:) *** HI GLYKIA!!***

It’s always better to read works in their original language. I posted both versions because somehow I just *knew* a reader or two could read Greek.

JohnJEnright: Glad you like it!! :)

little a: “I think that certain poets allow you connect in some way to what they write and it’s def a personal thing as to which poet’s work appeals to you. You know, that’s a very very good point! :)

yeah, not much of a poetry person myself, but i understand what you mean about not liking the ‘usual’ poetry stuff. the only poetry i’ve become hooked on is stuff by Alexandr Pushkin, a famous Russian guy. I think that certain poets allow you connect in some way to what they write and it’s def a personal thing as to which poet’s work appeals to you. i’m so tired and making no sense…

Body Remember is very beautiful all the same…
