Before his death the celebrated
Greek poet Seferis entrusted
his intensely personal and affecting
diary to a friend. It was written
during some of Seferis's most des–
perate years as he journeyed far
from his tragic homeland.
Here are the poet's intimate
thoughts, reflections and remem–
brances, his conversations with
friends, his tribute to the poet
Cavafy, and his longing for Greece.
A Poet's Journal
is a profound and a
profoundly moving legacy from one
of this century's great writers.
Times Literary Supplement
said of
the Nobel Prize-winning poet:
"What went into his most casual
literary notebooks was more than
goes into a lifetime of literary
journalism." - (Greek edition)
