Kavafis'in şiirinde okuru etkileyen, o anlatılmaz yenilgi duygusu, yitip giden güzellikler karşısındaki o çilekeş katlanma yeteneğidir. Güngörmüş bir şairdir Kavafis. İstanbul'dan, Antakya'dan, İskenderiye'den uçsuz bucaksız bir düşler ülkesinin başkentinden gelir. Yunan geleneğinin en büyük ustalarından biridir.

Constantinos P. Cavafy
Author · 29 books
Constantine P. Cavafy (also known as Konstantin or Konstantinos Petrou Kavafis, or Kavaphes; Greek Κ.Π. Καβάφης) was a major Greek poet who worked as a journalist and civil servant. His consciously individual style earned him a place among the most important figures not only in Greek poetry, but in Western poetry as well. He has been called a skeptic and a neo-pagan. In his poetry he examines critically some aspects of Christianity, patriotism, and homosexuality, though he was not always comfortable with his role as a nonconformist. He published 154 poems; dozens more remained incomplete or in sketch form. His most important poetry was written after his fortieth birthday.
