A number of years back I read a good (short) critical book
on Cavafy, called The Poetics of Cavafy: Textuality, Eroticism,
History, by Gregory Jusdanis, Princeton U Press, 1987.
I'm still inclined to Rae Dalven translations of Cavafy...perhaps
because I first came to Cavafy through them. I believe Auden
contributed an Intro and praised these translations. I'm happy
to know about these other/newer translations.
