Speakers:
Gregory Jusdanis will read from his Constantine Cavafy: A New Biography
Introduction by Ben Folit-Weinberg and a discussion with Michael Mungiello of Inkwell Management Literary Agency.
Description:
"A flawed genius, the poet Constantine Cavafy lived in relative obscurity. Writing about homoerotic desire, social decline, diaspora, classical antiquity, and the Greek language, his poems are celebrated today as being among the most original of the 20th century. In the first study of the poet’s life in over 50 years, Gregory Jusdanis will read from his Constantine Cavafy: A New Biography, sharing how Cavafy sacrificed love for art and captured the world’s imagination."
This event is open to the public.
