They are extraordinary "interpretations" of the poems -- and all of them are taken in rooms. Michal's work on Cavafy's poems should be reprinted. I believe this edition is OOP. But I think would greatly enjoy it considering your essay -- which I really look forward to.Philip F.

I'd just lost my cat of eleven years and knew your book would help, which of course it did, as did the Jeffers poem, although it also, of course, made me weep. I'm starting to emerge a little from grieving for the cat (her name was Morrigan, and she was really extraordinary, much more like a dog than a cat in personality and affections) just a little bit, and the Cavafy poem was a nice piece of sweetness for a world that's starting to seem a little lighter to me today, finally.<BR/><BR/>Evashoppistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04689110284987784602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755123332716147532.post-7276724815567794382009-01-16T09:57:00.000-08:002009-01-16T09:57:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.shoppistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04689110284987784602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755123332716147532.post-16912490711736472222009-01-16T06:21:00.000-08:002009-01-16T06:21:00.000-08:00Other examples of Cavafy sweetness: In "Days of 19...Other examples of Cavafy sweetness: In "Days of 1908" he wants to undress the memory.
