12 Greek Poems After Cavafy, by Paschalis Nikolaou and translated by Richard Berengarten from Greek, brings Greek poetry into English through Paschalis Nikolaou writing after Cavafy, where homage becomes a living conversation rather than a museum label. The metadata gives the reader a doorway, but the real value is what happens once the poem begins making its own weather. I would read it for Cavafy, afterlife, dialogue, and the pleasure of poems speaking across Greek literary time, not as a fixed lesson about a nation, period, or school. The best entry point is still the poem itself: the line that catches, the image that refuses to explain itself, the feeling that arrives before paraphrase. 12 Greek Poems After Cavafy belongs in the translated poetry library because it opens a contemporary Greek path through influence, echo, and revision.
