A free gift for National Poetry Day. My first collection of translations – from the amazing Poet who inspires me – Fernando Pessoa. “Acute as his own emotional life was, he nevertheless belongs essentially to the order of poets whose work is inspired, not merely for their own personality, but by the world of things and men outside them.” On Keats – highlighted in margins by Fernando Pessoa in a book in his Library.

Constantine Petrou Cavafy The Cavafy Archive website was created by the Center for Neo-Hellenic Studies and is owned by the Onassis Foundation. It contains all of Cavafy’s major works in the translation of Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard (edited by G.P. Savidis)
Fernando Pessoa The Fernando Pessoa House has a unique treasure: the private library of this great literary figure. It’s not very often one can find an entire library belonging to a writer with Pessoa’s universal dimension.
