C. P. Cavafy (1863-1933) wrote some of the most powerful poems in world literature. His work uncannily translates history, the record of the many, into an individual personal document. He draws on the spectrum of Greek poetic tradition to write wickedly satirical yet internal poetry, whether his speaker is a spoiled rich boy planning to enter politics or a poor, ostracized, pure young man destroyed by poverty and priggish social mores.

Zbigniew Herbert is one of the outstanding poets of the last century. This exceptional new translation brings together, for the first time in English in one volume, his entire poetic output – from his first book of poems, String of Light, in 1956, to his .nal volume, previously unpublished in English, Epilogue of the Storm. As Joseph Brodsky said of Herbert’s Selected Poems, this definitive collection is ‘bound for a much longer haul than any of us can anticipate’.

This volume is edited and translated from the Polish by Alissa Valles, with additional translations by Czeslaw Milosz and Peter Dale Scott, and an introduction by Adam Zagajewski.

Zbigniew Herbert was one of the greatest Polish writers of this century. He is a figure comparable to, say, T. S. Eliot or W. H. Auden.’ New Yorker‘Herbert’s poems, even in English, seem to me finer than anything currently being written by any English or American poet.’ A. Alvarez, New York Review of BooksZbigniew Herbert (1924–1998) was a spiritual leader of the anti-communist movement in Poland. His work has been translated into almost every European language, and he won numerous prizes, including the Jerusalem Prize and the T. S. Eliot Prize. His books include Selected Poems, Report from the Besieged City and Other Poems, Mr Cognito, Still Life with a Bridle, and King of the Ants.
